What PHP code can be used to retrieve the current page name in a WordPress theme?

All the solutions I have seen so far:  
* `the_title()`  
* `get_page()-&gt;post_name`  
* `get_post()`  
* etc.  

But these don&#39;t work for a page that contains post entries. They will all return the name of the latest blog entry.

Stated another way, assume that you have a page created in WordPress with the name &quot;My News&quot;. This page is set as the &quot;post page&quot;. Add a couple of posts to the page.
Now, what API can be used to retrieve the string &quot;my-news&quot; instead of the name of the latest post?

&lt;hr/&gt;

I&#39;ve found the following variable which seems to work.

    $wp_query-&gt;queried_object-&gt;post_name

This is actually the URL friendly version of the page name (slug), which is what I was looking for too. This was tested with the default template ([Twenty&amp;nbsp;Ten][1]). I&#39;m really not sure why the two variables given below do not work on my site. Thanks to [*keatch* for the `print_r()` tip][2].

Now, why is this information hidden so deep down?
