Question

I have a problem with my JSON RPC service. I make a class and put it output of application folder(I put it on service folder on root directory). This servis is class which I called by jQuery and use Ajax to response database results.
How do I access to database file which is put in
application/config/database.php
Can you help me?

Answer 1

Load the database if it’s not loaded already:

$this->load->database();

then call the configuration items:

$db['default']['hostname'];
$db['default']['username'];
//etc

Update

If you are looking to get these variables outside of the codeigniter application, define BASEPATH and include the file:

define('BASEPATH','');
include('/full/path/to/codeigniter/application/config/database.php');

then you can call the configuration items as shown above.
