PHP post foreach value to seperate array - php

Question

So...
I have this foreach loop with information about a product and I want to save the information to a seperate array for each loop.
I was thinking of doing something like this:
$return_array = array();
foreach($items as $item) {
$return_array[] = $item;
}
But I have troubles doing it like this since I am using input values from html and I need to add those before they get send to a database.
My foreach goes like:
foreach($items as $item) {
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input value="<?= $item->name ?>" name="item<?= $item->id ?>">
</td>
</tr>
... more table tags
<?php foreach($item as $key) { ?>
<input name ="item<?= $item->id ?>_label<?= $key->label ?>
<?php } ?>
... more table tags
<select name="item<?= item->id ?>_status>
//Choose the state the product is in
<option value="damaged">
<option value="good">
</select>
So after this gets submitted with the form (this is in a btw) I get something like this:
(depending on how many labels the product has this number can increase)
$array =
['item1'] = 'test';
['item1_label1'] = 123;
['item1_label2'] = 213;
['item1_status'] = 'good';
['item2'] = 'test2';
['item2_label1'] = 112;
['item2_label2'] = 1232;
['item2_label3'] = 132;
['item2_status'] = 'broken';`
Now what I want would be:
$array =
['item1'] = array[ //name of this doesn't matter
['item1'] = 'test'; // name
['item1_label1'] = 123; //label
['item1_label2'] = 213; //label
['item1_status'] = 'good'; //status
],
['item2'] = array[
['item2'] = 'test2'; //name
['item2_label1'] = 112; //label
['item2_label2'] = 1232; //label
['item2_label3'] = 132; //label
['item2_status'] = 'broken' //status
]
];
I want to create this information from the form. (also the number of items can increase).

try this,
$result = [];
foreach($array as $k => $v)
{
//$result[substr($k, 0, 5)][$k] = $v;
if(strpos($k, '-') === FALSE)
$result[$k][$k] = $v;
else
$result[substr($k, 0, strpos($k, '-'))][$k] = $v;
}
