Laravel Models and Controller files naming

Hello I want to know if there is a special naming convention for laravel models and controllers files, I created a model post.php and when I tried to use this model I got a fatal error said the class post is not found but when I changed the file name to be Post.php instead of (post.php) it works fine and the exception is gone anyone could explain why this happened?
Thanks.

What you're describing sounds less like a naming convention issue and more of a PSR-4 compliance issue.

Specifically, point 2.6:

All class names MUST be referenced in a case-sensitive fashion.

So for example, since you named the file post.php then the file must contain a class post and be referenced as new post(). This will ensure the composer PSR-4 autoloader will pick it up.

If you, however, have a file called Post.php then it must contain a class Post and be referenced as new Post().
