You can create all the visual elements in GWT, passing it only the data it needs to display, or you can create pretty much all of it in PHP and then wrap the elements (e.g. a button) that you want to add functionality to. It's entirely up to you. A problem you might face is that your current PHP scripts are designed to create a new page to replace the previous page, but you should be able to get around that by extracting the part you want and using it in your GWT app (e.g. not the header and footer and menu and stuff, just get the content you want to display).
