You cannot have PHP code inside of a MySQL query, as far as I know. You will have to patch the query together (you can use whatever methods you like [EG: printf])

PHP Code:
/**
 * Hard-coded method
 */
$dbname 'categories';
$cat 1// Remember this _HAS_ to be an integer
$from 0;
$max_results 15;

/**
 * Accept input from url
 */
$dbname 'categories'// this shouldn't be in the url
$cat = isset( $_REQUEST['cat'] ) ? (int)$_REQUEST['cat'] : 1;
$from = isset( $_REQUEST['from'] ) ? (int)$_REQUEST['from'] : 0;
$max_results = isset( $_REQUEST['max_results'] ) ? (int)$_REQUEST['max_results'] : 15;

$result mysql_query('SELECT * FROM '$dbname .' WHERE cat = '$cat .' ORDER BY updated DESC LIMIT '$from .','$max_results); 
I hope that helps, this is primitive
