The answer is in your php server. You decide... Everything depends on what is supported by the client. You had to develop a server for Google Earth. There are plenty of server for OpenLayer. If you develop your own then there should be no problem. What you need is to serve JPEG and PostGIS raster ST_AsJPEG() will help you to do that.
