Fatal Error in Laravel 5

I Just begin with Laravel 5 and When I try to run php artisan route:list to get the liste route, I get this error message :

PHP Fatal error:  Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script in /var/www/laravel5/app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php on line 1

  [Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]                           
  Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement in the script

UserController.php:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests\UserCreateRequest;
use App\Http\Requests\UserUpdateRequest;

use App\Repositories\UserRepository;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class UserController extends Controller
{

    protected $userRepository;

    protected $nbrPerPage = 4;

    public function __construct(UserRepository $userRepository)
    {
        $this->userRepository = $userRepository;
    }

    public function index()
    {
        $users = $this->userRepository->getPaginate($this->nbrPerPage);
        $links = $users->setPath('')->render());

        return view('index', compact('users', 'links'));
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return view('create');
    }

    public function store(UserCreateRequest $request)
    {
        $user = $this->userRepository->store($request->all());

        return redirect('user')->withOk("L'utilisateur " . $user->name . " a été créé.");
    }

    public function show($id)
    {
        $user = $this->userRepository->getById($id);

        return view('show',  compact('user'));
    }

    public function edit($id)
    {
        $user = $this->userRepository->getById($id);

        return view('edit',  compact('user'));
    }

    public function update(UserUpdateRequest $request, $id)
    {
        $this->userRepository->update($id, $request->all());

        return redirect('user')->withOk("L'utilisateur " . $request->input('name') . " a été modifié.");
    }

    public function destroy($id)
    {
        $this->userRepository->destroy($id);

        return redirect()->back();
    }

}

So when I used userController.php generated by php artisan make:controller UserController I didn't get error. This is when I override the default controller by adding __construct()

namespace App\Http\Controllers; it should be on first line and in your user controller after namespace add the below line

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;

and Try to execute command now it will work!!

I also faced this issue, In my case I just removed all blank spaces before <?php and my problem was resolved.
