You did check the HTML, rather than just looking at the rendered  
page, right?

Yet when you have...

$data['TITLE'] =$data['TITLE'];

...you see the titles but the special characters are not converted  
into entities?

If that's the case, then I'm not sure I can help you. The htmlentities 
() function is a standard part of PHP - if it's not working then  
you've got bigger problems than a couple of validation errors.
