I put this in a layout


jimport('joomla.database.database');
jimport('joomla.database.databasequery');
$this->tablePrefix = '';
$newname = JDatabase::replacePrefix('#__somename');
var_dump($newname);

int(0) int(638) int(0) int(638) int(0) int(143) int(0) int(11) string(8) "somename"

But how do I normaly get $this->tablePrefix? I shouldn't be entering it by hand, it could be randomly generated like in the cms. I'm not going to know what it is to hard code it!

If I take that out

I get

int(0) int(638) int(0) int(638) int(0) int(143) int(0) int(11) Notice: Undefined property: ContentViewArticles::$tablePrefix in /home/owner/www/db174/libraries/joomla/database/database.php on line 1222 Call Stack: 0.0005 671496 1. {main}() /home/owner/www/db174/administrator/index.php:0 0.0522 8214664 2.

If I add my code to the method I get

int(0) int(638) int(0) int(638) int(0) int(143) int(0) int(11) string(8) "somename"
