To do that you can use explode on your REQUEST_URI.I've made some simple function:

function getLast()
{
    $requestUri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

   # Remove query string
    $requestUri = trim(strstr($requestUri, '?', true), '/');
   # Note that delimeter is '/'
    $arr = explode('/', $requestUri);
    $count = count($arr);

    return $arr[$count - 1];
}

echo getLast();
