Just to make sure, there shouldn't be a variable sign over there. You
only need to put 'Model.field', so by putting $form-

your products table.

You only need to change your foreach statement. If the array is
resulting {n}.{Model}.{field}, then you use foreach ($var as $v), then
inside your foreach statement you call it by $v['Model']['field']
But, if the resulting array is {Model}.{n}.{Field}, you use foreach
($var['Model'] as $v), then you call it by $v['Field'] inside the
statement.
