How to get the URI of the frontpage?

Question

I use the following code to request the URI in order to display multi-language content variables. That works fine for every page that has an URI. My problem is the frontpage: For the pure domain www.domain.com without URI it doesn't work, however it works for www.domain.com/index.php. I can't figure out the right syntax for the frontpage, please help.

if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'index') !== false ) {

// Frontpage
$lang['META_TITLE'] = 'Welcome to the frontpage';
$lang['META_DESCRIPTION'] = '';
$lang['META_KEYORDS'] = '';
$lang['PAGE_TITLE'] = '';
$lang['BREADCRUMB'] = '';
}
