1. A foldable stand comprising:
a base;
a riser located on the base; and
a switching mechanism connecting the base and the riser such that the riser selectively pivots relative to the base from an upright position to a folded position; the switching mechanism having a locked status and a released status; in the locked status, the switching mechanism preventing the riser from pivoting relative to the base; in the released status, the switching mechanism allowing the riser to pivot relative to the base from the upright position to the folded position;
wherein the switching mechanism has
a fixed seat mounted in the base and having
a fold recess being elongated and formed in a top surface of the fixed seat; the fold recess having an inner end and an outer end that are disposed oppositely; the outer end of the fold recess forming a fold opening on a side of the fixed seat; the inner end of the fold recess extending downward to form a descending section;
two side surfaces oppositely formed in the fold recess;
a main fixing surface formed in the inner end of the fold recess and facing toward the fold opening;
an auxiliary fixing surface formed in the descending section of the fold recess and facing toward the main fixing surface; and
a first locking recess formed in the fold recess and having
a first curved section formed in the main fixing surface of the fold recess and extending around the descending section of the fold recess to one of the two side surfaces; the first curved section corresponding in height to the descending section and having a first locking end located in the main fixing surface; and
a first ascending section; an end of the first ascending section connected to an end, which is located on said side surface, of the first curved section; another end of the first ascending section extending upward to form a first releasing end; and

a controlling part connected to a lower end of the riser, mounted in the inner end of the fold recess of the fixed seat, and having
a first pivot shaft protruded from the controlling part and slidably mounted in the first locking recess of the fixed seat;

in the locked status, the first pivot shaft is located in the first locking end of the first locking recess to fix the riser in the upright position;
in the released status, the first pivot shaft is located in the first releasing end of the first locking recess such that the riser is pivotal relative to the base about the first pivot shaft; and
when the riser is in the folded position, the riser is mounted in the fold recess and mounted through the fold opening of the fold recess.
