The "only" problem is you have to build your layout twice,

You also have to manage URLs across different codebases. I'd
recommend against splitting up a frontend like that because it
adds a lot of extra overhead. But creating a new backend server
isn't so expensive (not free, but not so expensive). For
example, I once wrote a thin proxy server in node.js for a
third-party service that only supported node.js. It wasn't as
nice as a native solution would have been, but, hey, it worked.
Of course, with PHP it doesn't have to be a server. A script
might be simpler.
