Honestly, I don't know how to do this in a batch mode in Windows, I only know how to do this in Linux:

Code:
find . -name "*.php" -exec iconv -f cp1252 -t UTF-8 {} -o {}.new \;

(The command came from here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum40/1537.htm?highlight=msg907952#msg907952 )
You can convert them one by one in Windows with iconv, using some command like this:

Code:
iconv -f cp1252 -t UTF-8 -o target.php source.php

(You can get iconv for Windows from GnuWin32 project. Of course, cygwin can be better.)

Well, if you are a windows user, you can either use the windows powershell (WindowsButton + R = CMD || Type in "powershell"), and use the following code [LINK]: http://superuser.com/questions/113394/free-ansi-to-utf8-multiple-files-converter

Or, you can make use of UTFcast: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-batch-convert-text-files-to-utf-8-encoding/
