Like Jeff said you probably don't want to do this; really.
To make them group-writeable and world-readable do:
find . -name \*.php -exec chmod g=wr,o=r {} \;
this will probably be wasted unless you fix the dirs as well:
find . -type f -exec chmod g=rwx,o=rx {} \;
If you want to the whole tree, dirs and every file, then
a recursive chmod is ok:
chmod -R g+rwX,o+rX .
This uses the magic X, which means make it executable for
others and group if it's executable (searchable) for owner.
