Depends on the content and what you want to do with it. But possibly [foreach](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php) or [for](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.for.php). – Jerodev Mar 31 '17 at 14:37

In your form do you have `` or ``? – Yolo Mar 31 '17 at 14:40

Well, assuming that $quantity is numerical, you can do this:
for ($c = 0; $c < $quantity; $c++) {
//do whatever
}

You can do a for loop (I'm assuming you want to run some code $quantity number of times)
for ($i = 0; $i < $quantity; $i++) {
//
}
Just make sure to sanitize your POST data
