Function inside "do_shortcode"

Hey guys...

I need to put this

<?php if (is_category( )) { $cat = get_query_var("cat"); $yourcat = get_category ($cat); echo $yourcat->slug; } ?>

instead of FUNCTIONHERE in this code:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="post" posts_per_page="3" max_pages="0" button_label="Load More" category="FUNCTIONHERE"]'); ?>

I tried so many variations but nothing seem to work, could you please help me figure this out?

Sorry for bugging you all... I found solution as soon as I posted here...

In case anyone is interested, solution is this

<?php
$cat = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
$category = $cat->slug;
echo do_shortcode('[ajax_load_more post_type="post" posts_per_page="3" max_pages="0" button_label="Load More" category="'.$category.'"]');
?>
