What are the potential drawbacks of using <input type="text" with numbered names for passing data in PHP forms?

Using numbered names for passing data in PHP forms can make it difficult to manage and process the submitted data. It can lead to confusion and errors when trying to access the values in the PHP script. To solve this issue, it's better to use associative arrays with meaningful keys to organize and handle the form data efficiently. 

&lt;form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;process_form.php&quot;&gt;
  &lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;user[name]&quot; placeholder=&quot;Name&quot;&gt;
  &lt;input type=&quot;email&quot; name=&quot;user[email]&quot; placeholder=&quot;Email&quot;&gt;
  &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;
```

In the PHP script (process_form.php), you can access the form data using the associative array like this:

```php
$name = $_POST[&#039;user&#039;][&#039;name&#039;];
$email = $_POST[&#039;user&#039;][&#039;email&#039;];

// Process the form data
