Positioning forms in html - php

Question

Hi there I have two forms that display results based on user inputed data (php/database query) into tabular format. My problem is that both of the forms are positioned on the left hand side of the page and when i run the second form it places the table in the position where the the first query should be. I would like the second form to be placed to the right hand side of the page so that the first form table displays on the left hand side of the page and the second form table displays on the right hand side of the page. I have used methods like "align=right" but this hasnt worked. Any idea on how i can achieve this. Here is my code.
$table .= '<tr>';
$table .= '<td><strong><font color="#000000">ID</font></strong></td>';
$table .= '<td><strong><font color="#000000">Name</font></strong></td>';
$table .= '<td><strong><font color="#000000">Contact</font></strong></td>';
$table .= '<td><strong><font color="#000000">Start Date</font></strong></td>';
$table .= '<td><strong><font color="#000000">End Date</font></strong></td>';
$table .= '<td><strong><font color="#000000">Facility ID</font></strong></td>';
$table .= '</tr>';
foreach ($events as $event) {
$table .= '<tr>';
$table .= '<td>' . $event['id'] . '</td>';
$table .= '<td>' . $event['name'] . '</td>';
$table .= '<td>' . $event['contact'] . '</td>';
$table .= '<td>' . $event['start'] . '</td>';
$table .= '<td>' . $event['end'] . '</td>';
$table .= '<td>' . $event['resource_id'] . '</td>';
$table .= '</tr>';
}
$table .= '</table>';
echo $table;
}
}
?>
<form method="POST">
Start DATE: <input type="text" name="start" /><br />
End DATE: <input type="text" name="end" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
<form method="POST">
<h3 style="font-family:verdana;"> <u>Search a name</u></h3>
Name: <input type="text" name="name" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

Answer 1

Wrap the two forms in a div
<div class="forms">
<form></form>
<form></form>
</div>
Use the flex property
.forms{
display:flex;
justify-content: space-between;
flex-wrap: wrap
}
For more information on flexbox, visit https://flexbox.io/ or https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/CSS_layout/Flexbox

Answer 2

I think, what you need is css... try using Skeleton or bootstrap.
Also you have to Echo the result of the php code below the forms.
if you use Skeleton you might have something like this:
