 function option1($array, $connect)  
 {  
      if(is_array($array))  
      {  
           foreach($array as $row => $value)  
           {  
                $item_name = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $value[0]);  
                $qty = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $value[1]);  
                $price = mysqli_real_escape_string($connect, $value[2]);  
                $sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_order(item_name, qty, price) VALUES ('".$item_name."', '".$qty."', '".$price."')";
