How to "search file and send result into vim" in one command?

Question

I used:

find ~/web_project -name "config_*.php" -print | xargs vim

In vim, anything is ok. But, if exit vim, terminal is freeze.

My env: osx 10.6, macvim

vim $(find ~/web_project -name "config_*.php")

frequently I want to check my find command first, so

find ~/web_project -name "config_*.php"
vim $(!!)

You could try (tested on 10.5) ..

$ vim `find ~/web_project -name "config_*.php"`
