is it possible...

OK, my main site page used to be www.site.com/phpportal/ but I have recently moved it to www.site.com/

The problem is the page rank for the phpportal was a 4 and the root was only a 3. Is there any way to get the 4 to transfer to the root?

Hello Jeremy,

you cannot transfer your PR directly from one URL to another, but you can setup a google-safe redirection to let googlebot know that your content has been moved to new location and update it's index faster.
You should add the following to the root .htaccess file for this right after "RewriteEngine on" line:

Code:

RewriteRule phpportal/(.*) $1 [L,R=301]

Oh awesome, thanks much!
