Making executable all PHP files (recursively)

I just downloaded MediaWiki software on my server for installation. After decompressing it, I noticed that PHP files were not execu开发者_JS百科table.

I ran chmod +x *.php* (there are also .php5 files) but it didn't work in subdirectories.

How can I add the executable flag to all PHP scripts inside the MediaWiki folder recursively scanning the subfolders?

Thank you in advance.

Use bash in the MediaWiki directory

find . -iname "*.php" | xargs chmod +x

It does not work in subdirectories, because *.php* does not match any directories and hence does not include it.

Therefore you should use something like find ./ -iname "*.php*" -exec chmod 755 {} \; with the respective bits to set.
