-Package: Compile Failure +Package: JIT

change the package to JIT

I find the problem is because the encode of test.php is UTF-8 With BOM!
changing the encode to UTF-8 without BOM make it work as expect.

however i think the php cli should raise me an error instead of output the whole source to me.

I cannot reproduce, neither with JIT enabled nor disabled.

I attach a file with unicode bom. to reproduce this bug:

1) download the patch file 'rename_this_file_extension.txt'
2) open it by any kindof txt editor. add <?php to the 1st line
3) rename it to test.php
4) command line to exec: php.exe -f tes.php
5) output here it's
<?php

echo 'hello php8';

=====================
what i expect to get are
1) fatal error exception raise
2) or show me 'hello php8'

Ah, this is about UTF-16LE, not UTF-8.  I can confirm the reported
behavior, but this is not a bug; at least, you need to enable
zend.multibyte[1] for non ASCII compatible encodings; otherwise
the PHP engine doesn't recognize the <?php.  See also
<https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration71.windows-support.php>.
