Thanks Ross. I had to quote '*php*' to get it to work, but I couldn't 
get -type f to work (it worked OK without).

Anyone any idea why?

I got
Find: paths must precede expression

which is the error I got from not quoting *php*

I tried putting -name -type f
I was testing find ./ -name '*php*' -type f

Also, what does that / in ./ give us? It worked with ., so I just 
wondered why it was there.

Cheers
