Try this:
$query = "select * from category where id=$scrow->category";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die( mysql_error() );
If your query fails, and u still can't find the reason from the information that mysql_error() give you, put a "echo $query" inbetween to see which string your passing to mysql_query().
