Just a correction, …
Just a correction, HTML is NOT how you format a page… you do it through CSS. Please make sure you correct that so people do not get confused.

whether your doing …
whether your doing static dynamic pages or full Ajax applications you still need to select and insert data to a database, process it and format it in either full html content or xml/json requests back to the browser. PHP is still the easiest language to do this with.

With ajax features …
With ajax features becoming more in demand, it becomes harder to manage older systems based on the back end creating while pages dynamically on the server side. It causes you to have to rewrite the javascript every single time you change the php templates. Its much simpler to just have a web server feed static pages (seeds) that are rich in javascript and talk to a now viewless server.

I’m more against …
I’m more against the paradigm of generating html/tempate content on the server side. The html, css and javascript (and whatever else you use on the front side) should be talking to whatever you have on the back-end through a defined convention instead of php generating a bunch of html to spit out.

using this approach, it doesn’t really matter what you use on the back end, as long as it can handle web requests and interface with your client. the server side becomes simpler.
