Grouping event registrations on a service provider - laravel

Question

I want to define a service provider that registers events. So have done the following (taken from a book)
<?php
namespace MyApp\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class EventsProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
Event::listen('some.event', function($parameter)
{
// Handle the event..
});
}
}
Then I added it to the provider array.
But when I execute the code I get the following error
implement the remaining methods
(Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider::register)
It compels me to declare a register() method.
When I add to the EventsProvider class a method named register() (without implementation, and just make it return null) I get the following error
Class 'MyApp/Providers/EventProvider' not found
Why is that, and how can I solve it?

You just need to declare it, because it's declared in the Interface:
<?php namespace MyApp\Providers;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class EventsProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function boot()
{
Event::listen('some.event', function($parameter)
{
// Handle the event..
});
}
public function register()
{
}
}
Then execute
composer dump-autoload --optimize
But you might also have a typo somewhere because it says Class 'MyApp/Providers/EventProviders' not found, but it should be MyApp/Providers/EventProvider.
