xss_clean() public method

Sanitizes data so that Cross Site Scripting Hacks can be prevented. This method does a fair amount of work but it is extremely thorough, designed to prevent even the most obscure XSS attempts. Nothing is ever 100% foolproof, of course, but I haven't been able to get anything passed the filter. Note: Should only be used to deal with data upon submission. It's not something that should be used for general runtime processing.
See link: Based in part on some code and ideas from Bitflux.
See link: To help develop this script I used this great list of vulnerabilities along with a few other hacks I've harvested from examining vulnerabilities in other programs.
public xss_clean ( mixed $str ) : string | array | boolean
$str mixed input data e.g. string or array
return string | array | boolean boolean: will return a boolean, if the "is_image"-parameter is true string: will return a string, if the input is a string array: will return a array, if the input is a array
