My first idea was to use same functions as tibias ingame market, my current item array currently looks like this:
"3318" => array("type" => 4, "name" => "Knight Axe", "cost" => 2000)
where type 4 equals to 'Axe Weapons', using this would defi limit the auction table. A simple $_GET would suffice, but lets say there'lll be an option for 'Show All' I would still use $_GET with a limit query & 20 ish tables per page and still be able to use the same plugin without pagination as I like the search function
I don't know enough javascript to make my own atm :{
