$('#button').live('click', function() {
   values_array = [];
   $('.field').each(function() {
      values_array.push = $(this).val();
   });
   $.ajax({
      url: 'page.php', 
      data: { array_a : values_array },
      type: 'POST',

      success: function(data) {
         $('#div').html(data);
      }
   });
});


//page.php
echo $_POST['array_a'] . "<br/>"; //The line break echos, but nothing else

A.) Do I need to iterate through each class with $.each in order to create a proper array, and

B.) Why doesn't php echo it?

Did you tried to put array_a in brackets - data: { "array_a" : values_array }? – Karo May 13 at 11:43
Just tried it. No luck. – Norse May 13 at 11:44
What is the output of print_r($_POST) ? – Karo May 13 at 11:45
Array ( ), as expected – Norse May 13 at 11:47
check out what's the content of values_array after each() with console.log() – Christian Koch May 13 at 11:47

Change:

values_array.push = $(this).val();

to:

values_array.push($(this).val());

That should do the trick :)

.push is a method which you have used like a property try instead 

values_array = [];
   $('.field').each(function() {
      values_array.push($(this).val());
   });
