validation - Class 'App\' not found on laravel 5.2 -

i want add data database after successful validation,but error.'

     fatalthrowableerror in aboutcontroller.php line 51:      class 'app\about' not found. 

my controller

    <?php     namespace app\http\controllers;     use app\about;     use illuminate\http\request;     use app\http\requests;     class aboutcontroller extends controller     {   public function store(request $request)     {         //          $about = $request->about;         $validation = \validator::make($about, about::$rules);         if($validation->passes())         {             about::create($about);             return route('about/admin')->compact(about);         }          } 

my model

<?php namespace app\http\controllers; use illuminate\database\eloquent\model;  class extends model {     //    protected $guarded = array('id');    protected $fillable = array('about');     public static $rules = array('about' => 'required|5'); } 

location of controllers , model:

app\http\controllers\aboutcontroller app\about 

i have tried run

php artisan cache:clear php artisan clear-compiled composer dump-autoload 

i'm stuck can tell me causing this?

as @webneat said should change namespace using in model.

your model about

<?php namespace app\http\controllers; use illuminate\database\eloquent\model;  class extends model { 

controller

<?php namespace app\http\controllers; use app\about; // have declared app\http\controllers in model 

model fixed

<?php namespace app; // change namespace use illuminate\database\eloquent\model;  class extends model { 

if you're bit lost laravel or namespaces recommend use php artisan each of commands, , see , study reading code generated. case with:

php artisan make:model 

you fresh new model prepared receive code correct namespace.
