Append a text to the end of multiple files in Linux

Question

I need to append the following code to the end to all the php files in a directory and its sub directory:

</div> <div id="preloader" style="display:none;position: absolute;top: 90px;margin-left: 265px;"> <img src="ajax-loader.gif"/> </div> 

I have tried with

echo "my text" >> *.php 

But terminal showed the error:

bash : *.php: ambiguous redirect 

What should I do. there are hundreds of files to add this code segment and it would be a real tough time adding it in each file. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I usually use tee because I think it looks a little cleaner and it generally fits on one line.

echo "my text" | tee -a *.php
