I’ve written some code which created reports and then exports it to .PDF using TCPDF.
I want to send different parts of the report to mail , therefor I need to use the function WriteHTML() more than once in order to create multiple pdf files and save them in a specific directory.
$parts=explode("<div class='subTable'>",$html);
pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, false, false, '');
$pdf->Output('exmpl/example_045.pdf', 'I');
$pdf->Output('exmpl/example_046.pdf', 'F');
$pdf->writeHTML($parts[2], true, 0, true, 0);
//Close and output PDF document
$pdf->Output('exmpl/example_048.pdf', 'F');
Altough I try to export two different files to the directory exmpl , all I actually get is one file (example_046.pdf).
I have to mention that I can use Output() more than once and I’ve already done such thing, but I just can’t use writeHTML() more than once.
Any solution will be appreciated,
Thanks in advance !

Here’s the full code :

Your problem is that after the
$pdf->Output('exmpl/example_045.pdf', 'I'), and as if the script ends there. Why shoot to the file header.You can not shoot at two different header files, if you want to generate two distinct pdf I recommend you go with the function outputs the string
thus these two files on the filesystem save them and shoot.
Compress the files and shoot the zipped file header containing the two pdf.
UPDATE
in your case I would use a similar approach:

right code:
