You have several options available, the 'best' two I would suggest are the following:

PHP solution:

use sessions, (aka put session_start(); before every php file that will need access to session variables, also add a script to cause the session to timeout)

Store the DB output to a session variable, if the session variable is not set.

if (!isset($_SESSION['tabledata'])) {
    $json_data_fromdb= httpGet($ur3l."fromtable?u=".$var1."&ip=".$var2);
    $array = json_decode($json_data_fromdb, true);
    $_SESSION['count']=count($array['qqq']);
    $_SESSION['tabledata'] = $array['qqq'];
}

Then, you can simply paginate through the data, by sending a request for a certain range of values.

Alternatively, you can use a javascript solution like Datatables And either load all the information and let datatables filter it, or let datatables communicate with the other PHP server directly.
