Replace name="date" by name="date[]" .
Then in send.php walk through the array $_POST['date'] and generate an INSERT query for each element.

$date = $_POST; how can i do that this part. ?

name = "date[]" and $date = array($_POST);

like that ? if no, how i can write this part

If the form contains names like "date[]", the receiving $_POST array contains an element named "date" which is an array of key/value pairs which contains all the date values of the form. So you might have

$date1 = $_POST['date'][0];
$date2 = $_POST['date'][1];
