Any tool to convert bulk php files to UTF-8 without BOM?

Question

Hi,

i have a very large script which contains a lot of php files, so i need some windows tool or software which converts all those files into UTF-8 without BOM, i know this can be done with Notepad++ but you should convert each one.

Thanks

Answer 1

You can get a tool such as iconv from GnuWin32 and run a batch script to process all of your files that way.

But what encoding are they now? If they're ANSI, and you're not using any bytes with values => 128, then they're already BOM-less UTF-8. Perhaps you can use that to narrow down the number of files you'd have to process - maybe enough that you only have a few files to convert (and might prefer to do it on an individual basis).

At the bottom of this page you’ll find a VBscript which converts any number of files per drag and drop.
