How to create multiple categories for news?

Question

MySQL

Good day to all!
I'm doing my project (on Laravel 4) and I needed the ability to display news with several categories.
There are 2 tables:
category :
id_category - Category ID
title_category - Category name
news:
id_news - News ID
title_news - News Title
category_news (VARCHAR) - Category ID
And how should I do it in general? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Answer 1

Since you have a many-to-many relationship , you need to make a separate table where news_id, category_id will be stored.
