PHP data collector engine Fatal Error - php

Question

I am trying to write a small engine in PHP to handle data but i keep on getting this error:
Fatal error: Class 'Factory\dataHandler' not found in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Imperial/lp/php/dataPhraserController.php on line 12
Been now trying to find a way of solving the problem but not luck.....
My code:
DataFactory.php
<?php
namespace Factory;
class dataHandler{
protected $firstName;
protected $lastName;
protected $email;
protected $confirmEmail;
protected $phoneNumber;
public function setFirstName($firstName)
{
$this->firstName = $firstName;
}
public function setLastName($lastName)
{
$this->lastName = $lastName;
}
public function setEmail($email)
{
$this->email = $email;
}
public function setConfirmEmail($confirmEmail)
{
$this->confirmEmail = $confirmEmail;
}
public function setPhoneNumber($phoneNumber)
{
$this->phoneNumber = $phoneNumber;
}
public function getFirstName()
{
var_dump($this->firstName);
}
public function getLastName()
{
return $this->lastName;
}
public function getEmail()
{
return $this->confirmEmail;
}
public function getPhoneNumber()
{
return $this->phoneNumber;
}
}
dataPharserController.php:
<?php
namespace PhraserController;
use Factory\dataHandler;
class DataPhraser
{
private $object;
public function __construct()
{
$this->object = new dataHandler;
}
public function pharseFirstName()
{
if(!isset($_POST['first_name']))
{
$this->object->setFirstName($firstName = null);
var_dump($_POST['first_name']);
}else{
$this->object->setFirstName($firstName = $_POST['first_name']);
}
}
}
$test = new DataPhraser();
$test->pharseFirstName();
The idea is to collect data from a submitted html form, can someone help me.. thx

Place this in one of your config files that are loaded before everything
DEFINE('LIB_DIR', '/path_to_library_dir_of_project/');
function AutoloadDefault($ClassName)
{
$File = LIB_DIR.'/' . $ClassName. '.php';
// echo 'Default:'.$File.'<br/>';
if (file_exists($File))
{
require_once($File);
}
}
spl_autoload_register('AutoloadDefault');
Then just point to right LIB_DIR folder. spl_autoload_register will load the class file
