Unable to save custom metabox data from metabox plugin

Question

I am quite new to php and wordpress but have programming knowledge. i am attempting to save data from these metaboxes in metabox plugin by creating a new custom metabox. this is my code

 $tour_rates = get_post_meta( $post->ID, $id, true ) ? maybe_unserialize(get_post_meta( $post->ID, $id, true )) : false;
    if ($tour_rates){
                foreach ( $tour_rates as $options => $option ) {
                    $key = 1        
                    $html .= '<tr class="rate-line">';
                    $html .= '<td>';
                    $html .= '<span>Opt ' . ($options+1) . '</span>';
                    $html .= '<input type="hidden" name="' . $id . '[]" class="rwmb-text" size="30" value="">';
                    $html .= '</td>';                       
                    $html .= '<td><input type="text" name="pax_date_'.$key.'[]" class="rwmb-date" size="3" value="'.$option[$key-1].'"></td>';
                    $html .= '<td><input type="text" name="pax_price_'.$key.'[]" class="pax-price" size="3" value="'.$option[$key-1].'"></td>';

                    $html .= '</tr>';
                }

Now in the save function i have this code. i am able to save only pax-price and not the date along with pax-price. need help and thanks in advance for all your help

static function save( $new, $old, $post_id, $field )
        {
            $name = $field['id'];
            $tour_rates = array();
            foreach ( $_POST[$name] as $k => $v ) {
                $tour_rates[$k] = array(
                    $_POST['pax_price_1'][$k],
                    $_POST['pax_date_1'][$k],
                );
            }
            $new = maybe_serialize( $tour_rates );
            update_post_meta( $post_id, $name, $new );
        }

I think you should used this hook add_action('save_post', 'call-back-function', 1, 2); — Mayur

Anyways I got the solution. i had made a mistake in the way i was displaying, just in case someone needs a way:

$tour_rates = get_post_meta( $post->ID, $id, true ) ? maybe_unserialize(get_post_meta( $post->ID, $id, true )) : false;

    $html = '<div id="tour-rates-info">';

        $html .= '<div class="inside">';
        $html .= '<div class="rwmb-field">';

        $html .= '<div class="rwmb-input">';
        $html .= '<table>';
        $html .= '<tr>';
        $html .= '<th>&nbsp;</th>'; 

            $html .= '<th>'."Departure Date".'</th>';
            $html .= '<th>'."Price".'</th>';

        $html .= '</tr>';
    if ($tour_rates){

        foreach ( $tour_rates as $k => $v ) {       
            $key = 1;
            $html .= '<tr class="rate-line">';
            $html .= '<td>';
            $html .= '<span>Opt ' . ($k+1) . '</span>';
            $html .= '<input type="hidden" name="' . $id . '[]" class="rwmb-text" size="30" value="">';
            $html .= '</td>';               

            $html .= '<td><input type="text" name="pax_date_'.$key.'[]" class="rwmb-date" size="9" value="'.$v[0].'"></td>';

                $html .= '<td><input type="text" name="pax_price_'.$key.'[]" class="pax-price" size="9" value="'.$v[1].'"></td>';


            $html .= '</tr>';
        }

Now the save function remains same

static function save( $new, $old, $post_id, $field )
        {

            $name = $field['id'];

            $tour_rates = array();
            $tour_rate = array();
            foreach ( $_POST[$name] as $k => $v ) {
                $tour_rates[$k] = array(
                    $_POST['pax_date_1'][$k],
                    $_POST['pax_price_1'][$k],
                );
            }

            echo $tour_rates;
            $new = maybe_serialize( $tour_rates );

            update_post_meta( $post_id, $name, $new );

        }
