How to access a config item from within the config file

Hello All

Maybe somebody know the answer about this problem:
How to access a config item from within the same config file...

Code:

$config['home_img_tag'] = 'some html' . $this->config->item('base_url') . 'some html';

The above does not seem to work...
Do I need to create an instance variable of CI?
And if so, how is the correct code?

If it's in the same file you can do

Code:

$config['home_img_tag'] = 'some html' . $config['base_url'] . 'some html';

If you want to access other config files, you need to include the file the setting is in and prevent the included array to get overwritten.

Code:

include(APPPATH.'config/other_config.php');
$other_config = $config;
unset($config);
// $config of the file itself

Sorry for asking an obvious question,
The correct way to this is simply:

Code:

$config['home_img_tag'] = 'some html'. $config['base_url'] . 'some html';
