What potential issue is the user facing with the bootstrap 4-toggle in terms of database entry?

The potential issue the user may face with the bootstrap 4-toggle in terms of database entry is that the toggle may not directly submit a boolean value (true/false) that can be easily stored in a database. To solve this, you can use JavaScript to update a hidden input field with the appropriate boolean value based on the toggle state before submitting the form. 

<?php
// Check if form is submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // Get the value of the toggle from the hidden input field
    $toggleValue = isset($_POST['toggle']) ? 1 : 0; // Convert the value to boolean (1 or 0)

    // Insert the toggle value into the database
    // Your database insertion code here
}
?>

<form method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="toggle" id="toggleInput" value="0"> <!-- Hidden input field to store the toggle value -->
    <input type="checkbox" id="toggle" data-toggle="toggle" data-on="Enabled" data-off="Disabled"> <!-- Bootstrap 4 toggle checkbox -->
</form>

<script>
    // Update the hidden input field value based on the toggle state
    $('#toggle').change(function() {
        if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
            $('#toggleInput').val('1'); // Set hidden input value to 1 if toggle is checked
        } else {
            $('#toggleInput').val('0'); // Set hidden input value to 0 if toggle is unchecked
        }
    });
</script>
