Create your index.php page and just delete the index.html page. Apache
should find the index.php page by default if there is not a index.html
page present in that directory.
Just to make sure, check your /etc/apache/httpd.conf file for a chunk of
code like this:
# DirectoryIndex: Name of the file or files to use as a pre-written HTML
# directory index. Separate multiple entries with spaces.
#
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi index.php
</IfModule>
As you can see, index.php is one of the default pages.
