When you click submit button of this form, all checked values will be sended by method that you declared:

something like <form name="name" method="Post" action="file.php"> ... </form>.

Then inside file.php you can get types as array: $_POST['types']. This array will contain checked values

how do I retrieve the types[] and quantities[]

So you want to know how to determine which of the types[] checkbox values are checked, and store those values in an array?

You'd retrieve all the checkboxes by name, then loop through while checking the checked property

var selected = [];
var allCbs = document.getElementsByName("types[]");
for(var i = 0, max = allCbs.length; i < max; i++)
    if (allCbs[i].checked === true)
        selected.push(allCbs[i].value);
