Answer 1

Be shure that you can write to the directory.

$filename="/Mydirectory/bill01.pdf";

Save the Pdf.

$pdf->Output($filename,'F');

Update the Sql Tables

$query=" UPDATE `shopdb`.`bills` SET `bill_doc_crea` = '1', `bill_pdf_doc` = '".$filename."' WHERE `bills`.`ordernummer` ='".$orderId."' ;";
