You can communicate with any backend using GWT. You might not be able to use GWT-RPC (which I believe there's a PHP library for that though), but you can always use RequestBuilder and send regular POST/GET requests to PHP. Your PHP script can do whatever it wants with that data and return any data it wishes. You can communicate using XML or JSON, that's up to you.
