Checkbox Action Event - php

Question

Looking for some help with checkbox(switch type) that I have put in PHP.
These checkbox are created dynamically with data received from a MySQL Database.
The checkbox is loaded on the page depending on the condition of the checkbox placed on the database.
Now, I need help to build a code that perform some action like writing back into another database table everytime this checkbox is actioned; i.e. its inital state can be :checked or left blank(unchecked) and each of these checkbox have an ID or value on them from database. But any action that takes place either from blank to :checked or from :checked to blank, it needs to trigger an action for that particular actioned checkbox only.
Would need help on this as PHP please.
My Code Looks like this for a checkbox:
echo "<input type='checkbox' class='input-swtoggle' name='switch-box' ";
$lightStatus = $row->light_status;
if ($lightStatus == "1") {
echo "checked>";
}
else{
echo ">";
}
PS: I did try alot Googling and on Stackoverflow, but none of them are helping for the above condition.

Answer 1

You can bind click event to the checkbox using .on()
$(function(){
$(document).on('click',"input:checkbox.input-swtoggle",function() {
alert($(this).is(':checked'));
});
});

Answer 2

<?php
// HTML code
$checkced = ($row->light_status == '1') ? 'checked="checked"' : '';
echo '<input type="checkbox" class="input-swtoggle" name="switchbox[]"' . $checkced . '/>';
// Code after form posted:
if (! empty($_POST['switchbox'])) {
foreach ($_POST['switchbox'] as $switch) {
// Apply your logic here.
}
}
?>
