Custom class cannot be found in Laravel 10

Question

I created a custom class in laravel 10 located at:

AppHelpersCompletedOrders

This class contains the following code:

<?
namespace AppHelpersCompletedOrders;

class DeliverOrdersByMail
{

    public static function DeliverOrdersToCustomerMail($OrderID)
    {
        return "mail ok ". $OrderID;
    }

}

When I try to call the class in the file:

use AppHelpersCompletedOrdersDeliverOrdersByMail;

Route::get('test', function(){
    DeliverOrdersByMail::DeliverOrdersToCustomerMail("fgzefef");
});

I got a class not found error!

Class "AppHelpersCompletedOrdersDeliverOrdersByMail" not found

Is there any solution?

PHP short_open_tag(<?) Deprecated. So you need to use <?php instead of <?

In PHP 8.0, deprecation notifications are converted to parsing errors:

In PHP 9.0, support for short_open_tag has been completely removed:
