view
Total Records: <?php echo $total_records ?>

Answer 1

In the class Test index function last statement ) is missing. Here is the correct one
$this->load->view('test_view', array('total_records' => $total_records));

Answer 2

It might cause due to script contain in view ,set short_open_tag 0 in your htaccess file and check if solves
<IfModule mod_php5.c >
php_value short_open_tag 0
</IfModule >
