.htm and .php versions of the same site

Over the past 2 months I have updated my site from .htm to .php, to make it easier to change navigation etc. I now have 2 versions of the same site, the .htm page has PR or 3 or 4, the .php page has a PR of 0. (e.g. mysite.co.uk/page1.htm, mysite.co.uk/page1.php. My index page only has the .php version of navigation, so visitors only see the php version of the site.

Q1. What is the best way to migrate from the htm version to the php version and keep the PR.

Q2. I seem to have been dropped by google, (yahoo and msn ok) is this because google I have duplicate page with the same content (I did make small house keeping and SEO changes during the php update)

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Set up a 301 redirect in .htaccess from the .htm files to the php files
