          echo "hello";

Try this:

$pathToFile = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

$currentFilename = substr($pathToFile, strrpos($pathToFile, '/') + 1);

if($currentFilename == 'index.php')
{
    echo 'This file is index.php!';
}

1. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] is the path to the current file on the local system. Since you don’t care about the domain name or the query string, this is easier.
2. strrpos($pathToFile, '/') gets the index of the last occurrence of / in $pathToFile.
3. substr($pathToFile, strrpos($pathToFile, '/') + 1) get the portion of $pathToFile starting with the character after the index found by strrpos() in step 2.
4. You should be left with only the filename in $currentFilename, which you can compare with whatever you choose.

Note that this will match any index.php file, not just the one at your domain root. For example, if your site is located at http://example.com, http://example.com/subdir/index.php would also be true for $currentFilename == 'index.php'. If that’s not what you want, you’d do it a little differently.
