great!
just another thing that came to my mind: would it also be possible to search for two or more strings, eg "containing string 1 OR string 2 OR string 3"
and would it be possible to output the line from the file where the string was found?
thanks!

>> output the line <<
find /directory -type f -name "*.php" | xargs egrep "string1|string2|string3" /dev/null
just without "-l"
/dev/null at the end is to display the filename even if only one file is found. No "|" or ">" in front of it!

Solution:
find /directory/path -name "*string*.php" -print 2> /dev/null
find /directory/path -name "*string*.php" -group <group_name> -user <user_name> -print 2> /dev/null
find /directory/path -group <group_name> -user <user_name> -print 2>/dev/null | xargs grep "string"
find /directory/path -name "*string*.php" -print 2> /dev/null
find /directory/path -name "*string*.php" -group <group_name> -user <user_name> -print 2> /dev/null
find /directory/path -group <group_name> -user <user_name> -print 2>/dev/null | xargs grep "string"
