PHP is not working after updating to PHP 8.1 RC5 – PHP Versions

After updating PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.1 RC5, PHP has stopped working on my machine and produces following error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: ^(text/|application/xhtml+xml) (offset=0): unrecognised compile-time option bit(s) in Unknown on line 0

it produces the error even when I ask for php version:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: ^(text/|application/xhtml+xml) (offset=0): unrecognised compile-time option bit(s) in Unknown on line 0

updated using this repository:

    The problem is solved, just update the repository and re-install PHP 8.1. I think it was just in RC5
