I would like to access the $db[‘default’][‘dbprefix’] variable from /application/config/database.php ( CodeIgniter configuration file)

I would like to access the $db['default']['dbprefix'] variable from /application/config/database.php (CodeIgniter configuration file) from within a model so I can write my own queries using the value from the file.

How can this be done?

    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
