How to send multi-dimensional arrays in an HTML form to request?

I have form to send products id with qty for each product my form:

 <select name="products[][product_id]">
    @foreach($products as $product)
        <option value="{{ $product->id }}">{{ $product->trade_name }}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>

<input type="text" name="products[][quantity]">

With this name style I got like this:

"products" => array:4 [▼
    0 => array:1 [▼
    "product_id" => "1"
    ]
    1 => array:1 [▼
    "quantity" => "2"
    ]
    2 => array:1 [▼
    "product_id" => "2"
    ]
    3 => array:1 [▼
    "quantity" => "3"
    ]
]

I need to achieve the array like this:

"products" => array:2 [▼
    0 => array:1 [▼
        "product_id" => "1",
        "quantity" => "2"
    ]
    1 => array:1 [▼
        "product_id" => "2",
        "quantity" => "3"
    ]
]

select name="products[product_id][]">
    @foreach($products as $product)
        <option value="{{ $product->id }}">{{ $product->trade_name }}</option>
    @endforeach
</select>

<input type="text" name="products[quantity][]">

If you specify the keys first, and then create a nested array for those (opposite to what you have done) then when you need to access them you can loop through them and access the corresponding entry e.g

$combined_array = [];
foreach($request->products['product_id'] as $key => $value) {
   $combined_array[] = [
          'product_id' => $value,
          'quantity' => $request->products['quantity'][$key]
        ];
}

$combined_array should then have your data.
