appending a line to the end of several hundred files

I have a bunch of files named publish.php within subdirs. I need to append a line at the end of each file. I thought I could do it with find and echo like this:


Code:
find . -name publish.php -exec echo "<? include('path/to/file.php'); ?>" >> '{}' \;

but that appends the line to a file named {} instead of the find results.

I've also tried this:

Code:
echo "<? include('path/to/file.php'); ?>" >> $(find . -name publish.php)

but bash throws an "ambiguous redirect" error

What am I doing wrong?
