Question

I created a hook in order to add an item to the administrator’s menu. When the user clicks on the item, I want to return the content of a specific view I created. How should I return the view?

My current code looks like:

function my_view_menu(){
   $items['view'] = array(
    'title' => 'Report', 
    'page callback' => 'return_my_view', 
    'access arguments' => array('access content'), 
    'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
  );    
   return $items;
}

function return_my_view(){
  return t("Hello!");
} 

EDIT:

As suggested by Berdir, this the correct way to call a view:

function return_my_view(){
  $viewName = 'my_report'; // use the machine readable name of the view
  return views_embed_view($viewName);
}

You want views_embed_view(), see http://web.archive.org/web/20110213234806/http://thedrupalblog.com/embedding-view-drupal-6-using-views-embed-view
