PHPJasper not recognizing database settings

@geekcom i have the PHP code below.

`<?php require_once './core/initialize.php';

use PHPJasper\PHPJasper;

$options = [
    'params'    => [
        '$P{invoice_id}'    => 11
    ],
    'format'    => [
        'pdf', 'rtf',
    ],
    'locale' => 'en',
    'db_connection' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql', //mysql, ....
        'username' => 'xxxx',
        'password' => xxxx'',
        'host' => 'localhost',
        'database' => 'xxxxx',
        'port' => '3306'
    ]
];

$input = REPORTS_DIR . 'debtors_aging_analysis.jrxml';

$jasper = new PHPJasper;

try {
    $output = __DIR__ . '/reports';

    $jasper->process(
        $input,
        $output,
        $options
    )->execute();
} catch ( Exception $e ) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}`

the report is working fine in JasperStudio 6.15.0. when i try to view to view the report in PHP i'm getting this error.

usage: jasperstarter process [-h] -f <fmt> [<fmt> ...] [-o <output>] [-w] [-a [<filter>]] [-P <param> [<param> ...]] [-r [<resource>]] [-t <dstype>] [-H <dbhost>] [-u <dbuser>] [-p <dbpasswd>] [-n <dbname>] [--db-sid <sid>] [--db-port <port>] [--db-driver <name>] [--db-url <jdbcUrl>] [--jdbc-dir <dir>] [--data-file <file>] [--csv-first-row] [--csv-columns <list>] [--csv-record-del <delimiter>] [--csv-field-del <delimiter>] [--csv-charset <charset>] [--xml-xpath <xpath>] [--json-query <jsonquery>] [--jsonql-query <jsonqlquery>] [-N <printername>] [-d] [-s <reportname>] [-c <copies>] [--out-field-del <delimiter>] [--out-charset <charset>] <input> jasperstarter: error: argument -p: expected one argument

the strange thing is i can get PHPJasper to list the report's parameter. I am using PHP 7.4.7 and 10.4.13-MariaDB.
