Usage of XSS_clean

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi all,

Can any body clearly explain me the usage of XSS_clean?

Already I had read forums and so on, but did't get clear idea

Try to understand first what is XSS and by then you'll know why codeigniter uses it and why a developer must be aware of it.

See link below for further reference:
