In Joomla,
View stands for component views. A component have multiple views like Joomla default component com_users have different views
registration,profile etc Task means the function inside your controller file.
like here
index.php?option=com_users&task=registration.register
registration controller have a function name with register
In the view
index.php?option=com_test2&view=test2
means component com_test2 have a view folder with test2
In other way you can access the register function inside your controller is by using hidden fields. If you have a form to submit then something like.
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_users"/> <input type="hidden" name="controller" value="registration"/> <input type="hidden" name="task" value="register"/> You will get more details about Joomla component structure from here
Hope its helps..
