 What you have set up now is called a [front controller](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_Controller_pattern). All requests are going to the same file that then decides what to do with it. This is a very common software design pattern.

-Just because you are not using a framework does not mean you will have to reinvent the wheel every time you want to do something. For PHP there is a dependency manager called composer that you can use to pull in 3rd party packages for your application.
-
-If you don't have composer installed already, head over to the [website](https://getcomposer.org/) and install it. You can find composer packages for your project on [packagist](https://packagist.org/).
-
-Create a new file in your project root folder called `composer.json`. This is the composer configuration file that will be used to configure your project and it's dependencies. It must be valid json or composer will fail.

-Add the following content to the file:

-    "keywords": ["Your keyword", "Another keyword"],

-Open a new console window and navigate into your project root folder. There run `composer update`.

-Composer creates a `composer.lock` file that locks in your dependencies and a vendor directory. To remove those from your git repository, add a new file in your project root folder called `.gitignore` with the following content:
-
-```
-composer.lock
-vendor/
-```
-
-This will exclude the included file and folder from your commits. For which would be a good time now by the way.

-Now you have successfully created an empty playground which you can use to set up your project.
