URL input field in a HTML form
<p>I am creating a form to allow admin users to create new 'News' Items. I am using PHP Codeigniter. All works perfect at the moment storing and retrieving data from MYSQL database. </p>

<p>I have now realised I would like the option to add external URL links that relate to each news item. Possibility to add multiple links for each. I was thinking of adding a ´links´table to the database, foreign key relation with News table. Something like below: </p>

<p><strong>tbl_news:</strong></p>

<pre><code>news_id,
title,
descrip,
...etc
</code></pre>

<p><strong>tbl_link:</strong></p>

<pre><code>link_id,
title,
URL,
news_id
</code></pre>

<p>This will take a bit of processing as it is 2 input fields per link on the form and could become messy if the user adds multiple links per news item. Just wondering is there a better way to allow for URL input in a HTML form? </p>
