With 5.4.16, I get

$ php -n -d mbstring.internal_encoding=utf-8 test.php 
testTEST

$ php -n -d zend.multibyte=on -d mbstring.internal_encoding=utf-8 test.php 

Fatal error: Could not convert the script from the detected encoding "UTF-16BE" 
to a compatible encoding in Unknown on line 0

test.php
<?php echo "test^@TEST";?>
where ^@ is actual null char.
e.g. $ echo -e "<?php echo \"test\0TEST\";?>" > test.php


With some Japanese, I got the same result.

$ php -n -d mbstring.internal_encoding=utf-8 test.php 
日本語あいうえおtestTEST

$ php -n -d zend.multibyte=on -d mbstring.internal_encoding=utf-8 test.php

Fatal error: Could not convert the script from the detected encoding "UTF-16BE" 
to a compatible encoding in Unknown on line 0


Are you using the exact same test script or using more complex script?

Description:
------------
When this setting is used:

zend.multibyte = On

and I parse a PHP file that contains a NUL character (this one here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_character)
I get some weird output.

When I do not use the mbstring.internal_encoding setting I get a lot of question 
marks (?).

When I use mbstring.internal_encoding = utf-8 I get some characters that look 
like Chinese to me.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

// I can not insert the NUL character here.
// To put it in a PHP file you can use the console:
//
// echo -e "here is \0 null" >> test.php

$var = 'here is <InsertNULCharacterHere> null';
?>

Expected result:
----------------
When I run the given example with

php test.php

I expect no output, even when this setting is active:

zend.multibyte = On


Actual result:
--------------
With the setting

zend.multibyte = On

I get some weird output (depending on the configured internal encoding):

With the setting

mbstring.internal_encoding = utf-8

I get an output that looks like this:

㰿灨瀊⑶慲‽‧桥物⁳椠 湵汬✻ਿ㸊

Without the setting the output looks like this:

??????????? ?????
