 New Comment:

I can reproduce this. And I can also reproduce on 7.4 when running with "LANG=C php7.4
-a". The relevant change here is probably that PHP 8 no longer inherits the ctype locale from
environment.

Thanks for the swift reply!  I have no idea what might have
changed in PHP 8, and I'm usually working on Windows, I'll pass on
this one.

Hello cmb,

HYG the output for the READLINE_LIB for PHP7.4, PHP8.0,and PHP8.1.

hassan@hassan:~$ php7.4 -r 'echo READLINE_LIB . "\n";'
libedit
hassan@hassan:~$ php8.0 -r 'echo READLINE_LIB . "\n";'
libedit
hassan@hassan:~$ php8.1 -r 'echo READLINE_LIB . "\n";'
libedit

Please note that the but is in both PHP8.0 & PHP8.1

Update the package

I'm assuming that this is about the interactive *shell* (where you
have a command prompt).  If so, do you use the same readline
implementation (echo READLINE_LIB;) with both PHP versions?

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.
