Description:
------------

From manual page: https://php.net/ziparchive.addfile
---
On the man page for ZipArchive::addFile a new archive is created by using `$zip = new ZipArchive;`, while it should be `$zip = new ZipArchive();` (notice the opening and closing brackets)

Parentheses are not required after the class name when there are no arguments to be passed to the constructor.

However, this is not mentioned when object creation is described (under "The Basics") nor under "Constructors and Destructors".

I would expect to see it with the docs for the new operator.
http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php#language.oop5.basic.new

Note the langspec does account for the syntax.
