If so, do you use the same readline implementation (echo READLINE_LIB;) with both PHP versions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-11-08 12:15:41] 7snovic at gmail dot com Description: ------------ When trying to use PHP in the interactive mode in PHP 8 you can not type any non-ASCII character like Arabic, Chinese and other languages. $ php8.0 -a echo "اهلا"; will copy echo ""; only into your terminal. $ php7.4 -a echo "اهلا"; will copy "اهلا"; into your terminal. another references: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69882515/cannot-input-unicode-characters-in-php-8-interactive-shell https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69750044/php-8-shell-cant-input-non-ascii-chars ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=81598&edit=1
