   Hello,

   Is it possible to get the value of %postname%?

   Example:

   My permalink is setup link this:
   http://www.mysite.com/%postname%/

   I just want to grab that value of "/%postname%/" so if my post URL is this:
   http://www.mysite.com/my-first-post/

   I just want to grab the text "my-first-post".

   I know there's way to do this with some PHP coding but was wondering if there's already a built-in function on WordPress to do this.

   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks

   If you really just want my-first-post then use trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

   If you want to find out more about that post, you can do something like the following:

   $post_id = url_to_postid($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
   $post_data = get_post($post_id);

   Whoops, I meant

   trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
