PHP Form Group Results From Multiple Arrays

I have a php form that allows the user to add multiple copies of three fields (installed item, description, and quantity). The results of each field are captured in an array.

I am sending the results via an email form. Currently I have it set to the following:

$email_body = "Date: $date \n".
   "Installed Items: \n" . implode("\n", $_POST['installed']) . "\n" .
   "Installed Description: \n" . implode("\n", $_POST['installed-description']) . "\n" .
   "Installed Quantity: \n" . implode("\n", $_POST['installed-quantity']) . "\n";

It displays like this in the email:

Installed Items:

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Installed Description:

Description 1
Description 2
Description 3

Installed Quantity:

Quantity 1
Quantity 2
Quantity 3

I would like for it to display as follows:

Item 1
Description 1
Quantity 1

Item 2
Description 2
Quantity 2

etc...

Any help would be appreciated (and, I'm pretty new to PHP so pardon the noob-ness of this question).

In this case I would recommend to use a for loop:

for($i = 0; $i < COUNT($_POST['installed']);$i++)
{
   $msg .= 'Item '.$i.'\n';
   $msg .=  $_POST['installed'][$i].'\n';
   $msg .=  $_POST['installed-description'][$i].'\n';
   $msg .=  $_POST['installed-quantity'][$i].'\n';
   $msg .= '\n'; //extra space between the items
}
