I assume you are referring to the nagios-php project [1] I've started,
as it is the only php interface I am aware of (correct me if I'm wrong),
and it is not "officially supported". (I do welcome feedback)
Currently there is no question - if you're using it in production and
need all the features that the CGIs provide, you'll use that.

But if you require to integrate some of nagios' features - namely,
status screens (and command support is getting there, too), you are more
than welcomed to use nagios-php.

Nagios 2.x should still have the CGIs as interface.
PHP interface is only planned for 3.x, so as far as I can say, it is a
safe bet to use the CGIs for the immediate and not-so-immediate future.
