$name = $_POST['name'];
 $age = $_POST['age'];

for($l=0; $l < count($name); $l++)
 { //your condition
}

don't forget to add this in your html

 <label>Name</label>
  <input type="text" size="20" name="name[]" id="name"   >
     </td>
  <td>
 <label>Age</label>
<input type="text" size="20" name="age[]" id="age"  >
   </td>

Create an array using [] for all similar names:

<input type="text" name="name[]" >
<input type="text" name="age[]" >

And then you can iterate over them:

for($i = 0; $i <= count($_POST['name']); $i++) {
   echo $_POST['name'][$i] . "<br>";
   echo $_POST['age'][$i] . "<br>";
}
