php won't post value to email

I have added a button onclick function to a web form, so that onClick new input text field is created. However when the forms posts to email, Quote_Num value isn't posted - it just says "Array"

JS

var counter = 1;
var limit = 8;
function addInput(divName) {
     if (counter == limit)  {
          alert("You have reached the limit of adding " + counter + " inputs");
     }
     else {
          var newdiv = document.createElement('div');
          newdiv.innerHTML = "Quote Number " + (counter + 1) + " <p><input type='text' name='Quote_Num[]' /></p>";
          document.getElementById(divName).appendChild(newdiv);
          counter++;
     }
}

HTML

<div id="dynamicInput">
    Quote Number
    <p><input type="text" id="Quote_Num" name="Quote_Num[]" class="required" /> *</p>
</div>  
<p><button type="button" value="Add another text input" onClick="addInput('dynamicInput');">Add Quote Number</button></p>

PHP

<?php
$Quote_Num = $_POST["Quote_Num"];
foreach ($Quote_Num as $eachInput) 
{
     echo $eachInput . "<br>";
}
?>

Anyone with my experience with PHP help me get the form to post value of Quote_Num?

The variable $Quote_Num set with $Quote_Num = $_POST["Quote_Num"]; is an array, as you are submitting more then one values values from your HTML form by setting name equal to Quote_Num[].

If you echo an Array in PHP, It will give an Notice, and print 'Array'.

If you want all of the values of the array $Quote_Num you can use implode on Array. For example implode(", ", $Quote_Num) will return comma separated list of all values in the array as String.

You may also print the whole array by using var_dump or print_r.

I hope, I got your question and it helps.
