使用Carbon延迟作业调度时出现意外的“ - >”

Question

I'm trying to delay a Laravel Job dispatch. But when I try to run my function, I seem to encounter this

syntax error, unexpected '->' (T_OBJECT_OPERATOR).

The error seems to be coming from the 3rd line of the code that I displayed.

That line of code is also copied from this website.

Please advise me on what to do, and sorry if this seems like a rookie mistake.

class Auto_Order_C extends Controller {
    public function ordering() {
        $job = new Auto_Order_Job()->delay(Carbon::now()->addMinutes(5));
        $this->dispatch($job);
        return redirect()->back()->with("status", "Job submitted");
    }
}

You need to separate out the logic:

$job = new Auto_Order_Job();
$job->delay(Carbon::now()->addMinutes(5));

Or per Franz's comment, put the class creation in parenthesis:

$job = (new Auto_Order_Job())->delay(Carbon::now()->addMinutes(5));
