Not obligating http:// or https:// in a url field of a contact form
I have a simple HTML-PHP-CSS contact form (no JavaScript) with an `input type="url"` field. Currently in 30/03/2021, the default behavior of `input type="url"` ([by W3C design I guess](https://www.w3.org/)) is to obligate the user to add `http://` or `https://` before its URL (which is most likely be just a domain such as `example.com` in my own usecase) but I want that my contact form users **won't be have** to do that. I have found some StackOverflow posts about this matter with answers involving regex but I would prefer a way without regex (not because I don't like regex, but because I just want to keep the contact form source code as simple as possible). Is my desire currently feasible or I must use some regex patterned cutting mechanism by PHP or JavaScript?
