Description:
------------
When you try to set the default_charset ini setting to "Windows-1256" dynamically inside a php script a warning will show as the following :

Warning: ini_set(): Unknown encoding "windows-1256" in ini setting in *.php on line *

Warning: ini_set(): INI setting contains invalid encoding "windows-1256" in *.php on line *

The (default_charset) setting is set without any issues and the page renders in "windows-1256" without any encoding issues except the warnings.

This bug is only appears in PHP 8. PHP 7.4 doesn't have this issue.

Test script:
---------------
ini_set("default_charset","windows-1256");

Expected result:
----------------
No Warnings,

Raising a warning in case of an unsupported encoding is a
deliberate change[1].  It might be worthwhile to document that.
