detect home page in Joomla

    does anyone have a quick snippet of code to place in a template, that would enable me to detect if current item or URL is the homepage?

    Basically, I'm trying to load something on the homepage only, like in WordPress how you'd use if(is_home())

    thanks

    <? $string = $PHP_SELF; if ($string == "/index.php") {include('whatever.inc');}?>
    Code (markup):
    Anyway, there's probably a better way. I don't know if joomla has it's own functions for the home page like wordpress.

    that didn't work
    isn't $PHP_SELF deprecated?

    Here, I figured out the code to do it:
    $pge = $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; if ($pge == "/index.php"||$pge == "") {//do stuff}
