Are there any best practices for using bootstrap 4-toggle in PHP forms to avoid similar issues?

When using Bootstrap 4-toggle in PHP forms, one common issue is that the state of the toggle may not be properly reflected in the form submission data. To avoid this issue, you can use JavaScript to update a hidden input field with the toggle state before submitting the form. This ensures that the toggle state is included in the form data sent to the server. 

<form method="post" action="submit.php">
  <input type="hidden" name="toggle_state" id="toggle_state" value="0">
  
  <input type="checkbox" class="form-check-input" id="toggle" data-toggle="toggle">
  
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
  $('#toggle').change(function() {
    if($(this).prop('checked')) {
      $('#toggle_state').val('1');
    } else {
      $('#toggle_state').val('0');
    }
  });
</script>
