filling 2 array sessions

[farahZ]

i can't figure out where my problem is!!
I'm trying to input the quantity (text box) of each food chosen (drop down list) by the user..

food inputs working fine but quantity is storing the first item in the array only!
 

 

if (!isset($_SESSION['foodTypes']))
    {
 // if the session is not yet created, create it now
      $_SESSION['foodTypes'] = array();
 $_SESSION['Quantity']= array ();
 $c=0;
    }
 

 // check to see if the newly added food type is not already in the array
    if (in_array($_POST['foodType'], $_SESSION['foodTypes']) === false) 
    {
      // The selected food item is not in the array
      // add the selected food item to total food array
      $_SESSION['foodTypes'][] = $_POST['foodType'];
 $foodQuan = $_POST['fooDquantity'];
 $foodVal=$_POST['quantityValue'];
//only first item of quantity is added
 $_SESSION['Quantity'][$c]= $foodQuan ." ". $foodVal;
 echo  $_SESSION['Quantity'][$c];
 echo $c++;
    }
 
//submitting the food to the database (first item of quantity is sent only)
// user presses submit, after he is done adding all food he wants

$c=0; (starting from ) to pass by all quantity registered)
foreach ($_SESSION['foodTypes'] as $food)
{
$cal=0;
$sql="";
$clid=$_SESSION['views'][0];
$q=$_SESSION['Quantity'][$c];
echo $q;
 
$sql = "INSERT INTO fooddiary (ID, Date, DayTime, Food, Quantity, Calories)
VALUES ('$clid', '$date', 'Lunch', '$food', '$q', $cal)";
$c++;
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql) or die(mysqli_error());
}

try adding some echos and see what is being captured.  debugging is an essential part of programming.

Hey ginerjm, I tried that..

The problem is in the first section.. quantity isnt being registered and I dont know the reason for this
