Create basic CodeIgniter project

/ Published in: Bash
Save to your folder(s)
/!\Notice: Change the ci_dir to wherever your ci folder is on line 3. /!\

Usage: ci [name of project]

Gives the project a name based on the current date if the user didn't provide one. Option to move the app directory outside of the system directory.

Edit [Sept 19, 2009]: I updated the script so that it also gives the option to create a public folder in the application root - that is in the same folder as the system folder. The script also create a css and a js folder in the public folder.
