No, sorry for the confusion. I have tried. The titles do not appear at
all with the above coding. There is just a blank. The titles only
appear with this coding (special characters not converted)

$data['TITLE'] =$entry->post_title;

and this coding (special characters converted):

$data['TITLE'] =htmlentities($data['TITLE']);

For more detail about this, please see

Thank you.
