    If you mean folders on your local machine you can use Windows Grep http://www.wingrep.com to search files or even whole folders for any text string. Works with html php js files and many more.

    Try Googling the SciTE editor. It's a nice lightweight editor with syntax highlighting and a good interactive "Find in files" feature.

    Hi kmap, do you mean searching with pure PHP or with an external program? If second is the case you may use http://seekfast.org, which is very convenient for PHP projects.

    Ok, So you're trying to look for a script that was written on a php file inside a folder.
    You said it's only a few, so why not take a few minutes opening those 'few scripts' in a text editor and use ctrl+f (i'll assume you're on windows) to search for the text you're looking for. I don't think that will take you an hour to accomplish. :)

    Here's a step-by-step instruction using Sublime Text:
    1. Download Sublime
    2. Open all the files you want to search in Sublime
    3. Press Ctrl+Shift+f
    4. Enter phrase
    5. Profit
