Using PHP Namespace in hierarchy directory structure Error

Question

I am working with a folder structure as follows:

classes
    -common.php
    -core.php
modules
    -index/index.php

I am trying to use the common.php in my index.php file and I am facing error:

Fatal error: Class 'classes\Common' not found in D:\xampp\htdocs\devmyproject\modules\index\index.php on line 7

My Code:

commom.php class:

**Directory:/root/classes/common.php**
<?php
namespace classes;

class Common
{

    function __construct()
    {

    }
}

My index.php file which try to use the classes/commom.php

**Directory:/root/modules/index/index.php**
<?php
namespace modules\beneficiary;
use \classes as hp; 
include_once 'config.php';
$common = new \classes\Common();
//To Get Page Labels
$labels = $common->getPageLabels('1');

I am includeing common.php in config.php

$iterator = new DirectoryIterator($classes);
foreach ($iterator as $file) {
    if ($file->isFile())
        include_once 'classes/' . $file;
}

My Try:

It works fine when I use the folder structure as follows:

classes
    -common.php
    -core.php
modules
    -index.php

If I use another folder inside modules it get error? I am not sure about he hierarchy of folders when using namespace can some one help me?

Namespaces and folder hierarchies are two entirely unrelated things. How are you including the files the classes are in? — deceze

You have to either include common.php in index.php (better: use one of its relatives include_once or require_once) or set up an autoloader using spl_autoload_register() (or, not recommended, writing an __autoload() function).
