PHP autoloading classes

It's my first time using autoloading but I keep getting the error saying my class can't be found:

Fatal error: Class 'Classes\Sunrise\DB' not found in my\sample\path\.sunrise.app\init.php on line 52

Edit: Line 52 is where I use a static method from the DB class. For some reason, PHP says it can't find the DB class.

My structure:

order (Folder)
    + index.php 
.sunrise.app
    + init.php
    + ordersetup.php
    + Classes (Folder)
        + Sunrise (Folder)
            + DB.php

The file init.php contains my autoloader and is included in the file ordersetup.php which in turn is included in order/index.php with include_once '../.sunrise.app/ordersetup.php'; In the file .sunrise.app/init.php I need to use the DB class but am met with the error shown above. What am I doing wrong?

My autoloader in .sunrise.app/init.php:

function my_autoload($class_name) {
  include $class_name. '.php';
}
spl_autoload_register('my_autoload');

My DB class in classes/Sunrise/DB.php:

<?php namespace Classes\Sunrise;

use PDO;

class DB { ... }

Edit: The folder Sunrise is under the folder Classes

since the seperators are \ you need to replace them with the correct directory seperator for the OS, if this is a linux os then they need to be /

function my_autoload($class_name) {
  $class_name = str_replace("\\","/",$class_name);
  require "../.sunrise.app/".$class_name. '.php'; //you have to use path relative to
                                                  // order or use a absolute path
                                                  // /var/www/.sunrise.app/
}

Also if linux system make sure the case of the classes match the case of the folder, since linux is case sensitive
