将用户输入作为数组并逐个分发

Question

I am developing a website that can let the user buy something. The problem comes if the user buys many items at once.

For example: User A bought item 1 with quantity 2 User B bought item 2 with quantity 1

I want the confirmation page to display:

You have bought 
Item 1, quantity: 2
Item 2, quantity: 1

The problem is that I can't find how to get each of the quantity based on the selected item. I am just able to display directly like this

You have bought
Item 1, quantity: 2 quantity 1
Item 2, quantity: 2 quantity 1

This is my user input form

echo "<input type=\"text\" hidden name=\"cart[]\" id=\"itemIDValue\" value=\" ".$itemID ."\"/>";
echo "<input type=\"text\" hidden name=\"qty[]\" value=\"".$itemQty."\">";

and this is my PHP code

$sql = "this will get all the data from database";
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $sql);

            while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

                  echo"<p> Brand : " . $row[4] . " </p>
                       <p> Name : " . $row[3] ."</p>";
            }

Basically I can get the item name and the brand correctly, but I can't get the quantity correctly for that particular item.

I tried to use foreach loop

 while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

             foreach($qty as $a => $value){
                  echo"<p> Brand : " . $row[0] . " </p>
                       <p> Name : " . $row[1] ."</p>
                       <p> Qty : " . $value . "</p>";
            }
 }

The foreach loop will give me what I want, but now the problem is, if the user bought 2 items, the data output will be repeated and as a result there will be 4 items(2 items x2)

Can anybody help me please? Any help given is highly appreciated. Thanks

here's an adaption for your problem, already answered in that question (dublicate):

$_POST Array from html form

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
    // that's what you need:
    $qty=$_POST['qty'];

    foreach($qty as $a => $value){
         echo"<p> Brand : " . $row[0] . " </p>
              <p> Name : " . $row[1] ."</p>
              <p> Qty : " . $value . "</p>";
    }
}
