Separate data from how it's displayed. I mean, create a table called "states" with the fields "state_id", "state_name" and "state_url". Put the data in the according field:
state_id state_name state_url 1 Alabama http://www.alabama.gov 2 Washington http://access.wa.gov ...and so on
Instead of a auto_increment state_id, go with the USPS 2 letter code (AL, WA, etc). That way you can pull up the state name from an address.
