Inside quotes, you need to remove the single quotes around your array
index. Seems wrong, I know, but that's what php says to do. I prefer
to concatenate. so either:

list($page_id)=sqlget("select page_id from pages where
name='$_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]'");

list($page_id)=sqlget("select page_id from pages where
name=".$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'].");

are legal.
