Answer 1

You can do this is in many ways like:

1- You can use Wordpress global variable $post :

post_name;
?>

2- Or you can get use:

$slug = get_post_field( 'post_name', get_post() );

3- Or get full url and then use the PHP function parse_url:

$url      = "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";
$url_path = parse_url( $url, PHP_URL_PATH );
$slug = pathinfo( $url_path, PATHINFO_BASENAME );

I hope above methods will help you.
