protect_identifiers() doesn't seem to be working

Please next time you post add the version of CodeIgniter that you are using.

For version 3.1.5 you are calling it wrong.

This function will also add a table prefix to your table, assuming you have a prefix specified in your database config file. To enable the prefixing set TRUE (boolean) via the second parameter:

PHP Code:

$this->db->protect_identifiers('table_name', TRUE); 


So if you do not need the database table prefix, just pass it the table name.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?
