It's not goot idea edit core CI files. If you don't want see deprecated warnings from mysql_escape_string, to use mysql_real_escape_string() instead you need open connection with DB. Use db->initialise() in your base controller

class Base_controller extends CI_Controller {
 function __construct() {
     parent::__construct();

    $this->load->database('db_name');
    $this->db->initialize();
