I'd use

Aaaargh. One of the ugliest monsters I've ever seen ;-P
The nice thing about using find is that you can limit the depth of the
search, restrict it to directories on the current filesystem, specify
a more restrictive filename pattern, or perform other tests. It's
also good to know how to use with the "-exec" flag because it can
essentially make any command recursive.
Basicaly right, but you should limit the exec feature as much as you
can. With your find, you're spawning a new process for every file you
find. Horrible solution.
If we want to use the flexibility of find to limit the search, so we
can't just use "grep -r 'whatever' *", we can use print (print0 is even
better) and xargs.
So we would end with something like this
find / -name '*.php' -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l 'whatever'
