Sql and xss attacks are two different issues that should each be adressed accordingly at at the right time... XSS attacks should be parsed when the form is "checked", sql should be adresssed when you are puting the actuall information in the database. PHP has several functions that adress sql injection issues for example as stated: mysql_real_escape_string(); which will "safely" escape any data used in an sql statement to evade sql injection, thats a good first measure any ways... Second, a mesure that i take for both xss and sql is instead of escaping certain data, i only "allow" certain data, that i consider safe for display on a web site.. I recommend you dig deeper into that xss page you might even find a script that filters xss.. You might even be able to modify it to suit your needs and/or to harden/better it...
