How can I find all PHP files with group write permissions?

Question

I've been trying to get the -perm option of find to give me all PHP files that are group writable. Should this work?

find -name "*.php" -perm g-w

Thanks!

Try:

find -iname "*.php" -perm -g=w

-g=w means look for files that have this permission set.

May want -iname just in case some are .PHP for some bizzare reason. – Daenyth Jun 23 '10 at 19:01
