"A zero-case enum is syntactically valid, if rather useless."
PHP already has a zero-case enumerated type, called "never", used to indicate that a
function never returns a value. That's about the only thing such a type is good for, and since
never already does the job there's no point creating more.
(And for the record, PHP also has a one-case enum already defined, namely NULL. Since a value of
such a type doesn't carry any information, there's nothing another one can do that NULL
couldn't, so there's not much point creating more of those either.)
