You seem to have snipped the original question so I have had to go back to your initial email to see it, it is better not to snip so much that the basic problem is lost. You say you already have the form showing the list of products and quantities. When you submit that form then the contents of the fields will be passed in params[]. In the controller you can then pick up the quantities. I am not sure exactly what you are having difficulties with.
