How can I access a CodeIgniter configuration variable from a model/controller?
Try:
$this->load->database();echo $this->db->dbprefix;
Normally you can use $this->config->item but I think that only allows variables set in $config
The documentation says you should be using:
$this->db->dbprefix('tablename');
Doesn't make a huge amount of difference but could be an easier syntax.
