A friend had the question tonight “How do i pull the pagename of the current page in wordpress?.”

Turns out he wanted to display different padding around his paragraphs on different pages.

Here is the solution I came up with:

The code, which can be placed at the top of header.php in your theme.

<?php
list($page_name,) = explode('/', trim(array_shift(explode('?', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])), '/'));
$page_name = (!empty($page_name)?$page_name:'homepage'); ?>
?>

Then to echo the page_name in a div or something…

<div id="Site" class="page_<?=$page_name;?>">

Good luck wordpress fanatics
