What's the difference in new stdClass() and new stdClass?

Question

I'm learning the advance concepts of php. What does new stdClass do? I know what new stdClass(); does.

For eg) <?php new stdClass(); ? > creates a new object. Does <?php new stdClass; ? > do the same thing? Notice there's no parentheses. Does that make a difference? I can't find documentation on it for php manual.

Thanks :). I can't find though where the php manual says about creating an object without parentheses? — user2134128, Mar 10 '13 at 11:40

There is no difference. PHP lets you omit the parentheses if you're not passing arguments to the constructor.

`$a=new stdClass();var_dump($a);` shows `object(stdClass)#1 (0) { }` while `$a= new stdClass;var_dump($a);` shows `object(stdClass)#2 (0) { }`. Why is the difference ? – Istiaque Ahmed Sep 12 '17 at 13:23
