There are two ways, depending on what you want to do:

1) If you just want the data for the current connection:

Code:

$username = $this->db->username;
$password = $this->db->password;
$hostname = $this->db->hostname ;
$database = $this->db->database ;
$dbdriver = $this->db->dbdriver ;
$dbprefix = $this->db->dbprefix ;

2) Just include the database config file, and the data should be available within the same scope that you called it:

Code:

include(APPPATH.'config/database'.EXT);
print_r($db);
