What are some best practices for styling form fields in PHP?

When styling form fields in PHP, it is best practice to use CSS to control the appearance of the form elements. This allows for separation of concerns between the structure (HTML/PHP) and the styling (CSS), making it easier to maintain and update the design of the form fields. By adding classes or IDs to the form elements, you can target them specifically in your CSS and apply custom styling as needed. 

```php
<form action="submit.php" method="post">
    <label for="username">Username:</label>
    <input type="text" id="username" name="username" class="form-field">
    
    <label for="password">Password:</label>
    <input type="password" id="password" name="password" class="form-field">
    
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button">
</form>
```

In the above code snippet, we have added classes "form-field" and "submit-button" to the input elements. This allows us to target these elements in our CSS file and apply custom styling.
