What are the advantages and disadvantages of using tables for layout in PHP forms, and what modern alternatives can be considered for better design practices?

Using tables for layout in PHP forms can make it easier to align elements, but it can lead to bloated code and less flexibility in terms of responsiveness. A modern alternative to using tables for layout is using CSS Grid or Flexbox to create more dynamic and responsive layouts. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .form-container {
            display: grid;
            grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;
            gap: 10px;
        }
        label {
            text-align: right;
        }
        input {
            width: 100%;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="form-container">
        <label for="name">Name:</label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
        
        <label for="email">Email:</label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email">
        
        <label for="message">Message:</label>
        <textarea id="message" name="message"></textarea>
        
        <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    </div>
</body>
</html>
