Answer 1

Rename resources\views\DistributorRegitration.php to the resources\views\DistributorRegitrationForm.php

Answer 2

You need to register the file or directory in the autoload classmap section in composer.json in order for the class to be autoloaded.

{
    ...
    "autoload": {
        "classmap": [
            "database",
            "resources/views/"
        ]
    }
    ...
}

Answer 3

Rename the view DistributorRegitration.blade.php and move the class inside it in a new file in app folder, for example with name DistributorRegitrationFormClass.php.

Then in the controller change this line:

use resources\views\DistributorRegitrationForm;

to

use App\DistributorRegitrationForm;

and the return view statement to

return view('DistributorRegitration', ['returned_dist_reg_html' => $returned_dist_reg_html]);   

In the view write {{returned_dist_reg_html}} and magically 'hello' will appear.
