What I'm trying to accomplish is when a user tries to submit the form with errors and the error messages are added/page reloads I need the page to automatically scroll down to the bottom of the page to the contact form location.
I currently have the form within my footer.php and I'm including it in on each page like this: <?php include('includes/footer.php') ?>
here is my html for the form:
<form method="post" action="#">
<input name="name" placeholder="Name*" type="text" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($name);?>">
<span class="error"><?php echo $nameErr;?></span>
<input name="email" placeholder="Email*" type="email" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($email);?>">
<span class="error"><?php echo $emailErr;?></span>
<input name="phone" placeholder="Phone #" type="tel" />
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message*"><?php echo $message;?></textarea>
<span class="error"><?php echo $messageErr;?></span>
<input id="submit" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
EDIT - Based on the answer below this is what fixed my problem...
<form method="post" action="#footer">
//everything here
</form>
