Or you can use extract();

It seems like the array is posted just fine.

How is it failing? Looking at the source, you are definitely on the right
track.

Upon post, you need to get materials as such:
$materials = &$_POST['materials'];
to list out the quantity, you can do any the following:
foreach( $materials['quantity'] as $quantity ) {
echo $quantity . '<br>';
}
foreach( $materials['description'] as $description ) {
echo $description . '<br>';
}
for( $i = 0; $i < 5; $i++ ) {
echo $materials['description'][$i] . '::' . $materials['quantity'][$i] .
'<br>';
}
Personally, I'd rename your form elements to:
$materials[$item][quantity]
$materials[$item][price]
$materials[$item][description]
