Description:
------------
Starting with php8.0.0beta3 on windows (all prev. versions work as expected), php does crash on line mb_http_input() with enabled mbstring extension:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
mb_http_input("UTF-8");
echo mb_substr("foo", 0, 1);

This is in command line and apache module. Apache does crash the thread with no clear error log. PHP CLI just crash without error, at least i can't find any.

Are there any dependency that we must update with beta3? As i can read here: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/php-8.0.0beta3/NEWS - I see there is a Fixed bug #55847 (DOTNET .NET 4.0 GAC new location). (cmb)

Maybe something happened here?

Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mb_http_input("UTF-8");
echo mb_substr("foo", 0, 1);

This has already been fixed in https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/d57f9e5ea41aac7e40d37b6335cd2e03bf3b73fa.

However, after seeing your code I also changed it to throw a ValueError: https://github.com/php/php-src/commit/623bf96e7e37a05622df163a228c8e1c3f7d0b02

mb_http_input() is a function to get the input encoding, not to set it. Passing an encoding to it doesn't make sense.

Thanks for fast reply. Also i'm surprised why we had that wrong parameter. Never thought about it until today. I guess we had it because in next line we do mb_http_output() which accepts an encoding parameter.
