    You are running your inline script as part of the PHP page instead of passing it to dompdf. Your code could be written as follows (truncated to the relevant section):

    ...
$html="
<html>
  <body>
    <script type='text/php'>
      if ( isset($pdf) ) { 
        $font = Font_Metrics::get_font('helvetica', 'normal');
        $size = 9;
        $y = $pdf->get_height() - 24;
        $x = $pdf->get_width() - 15 - Font_Metrics::get_text_width('1/1', $font, $size);
        $pdf->page_text($x, $y, '{PAGE_NUM}/{PAGE_COUNT}', $font, $size);
      } 
    </script>
";
...

    Note that inline script must currently appear inside the BODY element. Otherwise it will be ignored during document processing.

    There are other ways to achieve what you want as well.
