Rasham,
if you are talking about moving to another dir while its renaming you would modify as below:
for old in *.php3; do cp $old /new/dir/name/`basename $old .php3`.php; done

if you just wanted to move all *.php3 to another dir, you can do that by simply using mv command:

mv *.php3 /new/dir/name/

Let me know if thats all you needed.
