Dear Mr. Gabriel, I would definitely suggest using pnp4nagios.
http://www.pnp4nagios.org/pnp/start It's written in PHP5 so there typically isn't too much required to get it running nicely on a Nagios box on Linux. It needs the GD libraries for PHP and I think you're good to go. Oh wait, no,it also needs RRDTool, but again a common linux package. PNP4Nagios out of the box deals with most of the checks in the default nagios plug-ins package but it also allows for creating custom graphs without too much effort. The other thing I like about it is that the installation documentation is quite good, and fairly easy to follow in my opinion. If you decide to go with pnp4nagios and have any questions, let me know. I've been using it for about 2 years and really enjoying it.
