Clare, I'm not sure what your question means? I will have a go at answering for you as I understand your question.
I actually leave the WMS request that deliver maps to the client up to OpenLayers. However, I have found it easier to build my own GetCapabilities/GetFeature/GetFeatureInfo requests myself and submit them to my own PHP script on my server that does the actual WMS request and returns it to the client as XML all via Ajax. I believe this is a clunky solution and could be made better if I knew how to build a proxy server :( I am not using GeoServer with this application although I have accessed Geoserver and it works just fine through OpenLayers (and so it should by the way thanks to OGC). I hope that answers your question.
