Have a look at this thread: https://github.com/reyk/httpd/issues/27

And my example would probably be better this way:

<?php
    if (basename($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]) == "index.php") {
        if (file_exists($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
                       .$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]
                       ."index.html")) {
            header("Location: ".$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]."index.html");
        }
    }
?>
