Laravel5 extends in Controller in Subfolder

I have folder structure app/Http/Controllers/School inside which I have a SchoolController:

namespace School;
class SchoolController extends BaseSchoolController {.....

and BaseSchoolController:

namespace School
class BaseSchoolController extends \BaseController {....

(BaseController is in parent Controllers folder)

 class BaseController extends Controller {...

This gives an error:

    FatalErrorException in SchoolController.php line 5: Class 'School\BaseSchoolController' not found

Any ideas, thanks?

Seems happy with this structure though:

  class SchoolController extends \Controller {

From what I can see right away, the namespaces are wrong.

Laravel 5 uses PSR-4, which means that each namespace must match the folder structure (including the vendor) of a class file.

So, for app/Http/Controllers/School/SchoolController.php, the namespace should be set to:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers\School;

not just

<?php namespace School;

Also, if the app name isn't the default one (App), change it accordingly on the namespace.

As an example, if you ran: php artisan app:name ACME

the namespace should then be:

<?php namespace ACME\Http\Controllers\School;

Check other classes like app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthController.php, to have an idea how it should be done.
