Does GWT support php ?

Question

does GWT support php ?

Answer 1

To a certain extent, yes.

The heart of GWT is some magic for converting Java source code for a Web client into JavaScript. There's no wiggle room there; it's either Java or nothing.

But a GWT-translated client can interoperate with a server written in any language. You'd be missing out on some of the special remote calling capabilities offered by the GWT framework, but if you're willing to transfer XML or JSON back and forth, a PHP-based server could work with your Java/JavaScript-based client.
