You can use old find/xargs trick to recursively add files of one extension (or any other mask for that matter):

find -name "*.php" -print0 | xargs -0 git add

If you are certain that file names never have any spaces, you can simplify this as:

find -name "*.php" | xargs git add

You are in a different folder from the changed files. As far as I know git just uses the shell's built-in expansion for this. If it has its own different expansion then I'm not sure why it doesn't work in this case.

Possible workaround (assuming this is a properly configured bash shell):

git add **/*.php

You might need to switch on the globstar shell config variable shopt -s globstar for this to work if it isn't already set.
