[Set database field value if checkbox clicked]

Hi,

I need to make it so the items on my page are only displayed if the value in their database column is set to 1 (and 0 for no display). And I should be able to change those values with a checkbox toggle on my admin panel.

Ideally I wouldn't have to click submit either.

Table:

<table id="datatables" class="table table-striped table-no-bordered table-hover" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="width:100%">
                      <thead>
                        <tr>
                          <th>ID</th>
                          <th>Item name</th>
                          <th>Item group</th>
                          <th>Actions</th>
                          <th>Display</th>
                        </tr>
                      </thead>
                      <tbody>
                        <?php
                        if($result -> num_rows > 0){
                          while($row = $result-> fetch_assoc()){
                            echo "<tr>";
                            echo "<td>" . $row["id"] ."</td>";
                            echo "<td>" . $row["item_name"]. "</td>";
                            echo "<td>" . $row["group_name"] ."</td>";
                            ?>
                            <?php
                            require_once "deleteitem.php";
                            ?>
                            <td>
                              <a href="edititem.php?edit=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" name="edit"><i class="material-icons">edit</i></a>
                              <a href="?delete=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" name="delete"><i class="material-icons">delete</i></a>
                            </td>
                            <td>
                            <form action="displayitem.php" method="POST">
                              <div class="togglebutton">
                                <label>
                                  <input type="checkbox" name="display">
                                  <span class="toggle"></span>
                                </label> 
                              </div>
                              </form>
                            </td>
                            <?php
                            echo "</tr>";
                        }
                          }
                        ?>
                      </tbody>
                    </table>

In displayitem.php

<?php
if(isset($_POST['display'])){
    echo '<p>'.$_POST['display'].'</p>';
	// queries etc here
}
?> 

I'm not getting the value here unless I add a submit button.

Guessing jQuery / AJAX is the way to go but can't seem to find any good tutorials on it, are there any other suitable approaches to this?
