This php function will help you: http://php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

Turn the path to an array and you should be all set.

If you have a file called abc.html, then


<script language="JavaScript">
alert(location.href.substring(location.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1,location.href.length))
</script>

will give abc.html, and


<script language="JavaScript">
alert(location.href.substring(location.href.lastIndexOf('/') + 1,location.href.length-5))
</script>

produces abc, etc.
