First up - I am not a PHP developer, I know very little about PHP.
But.
Well done! You've built an app, with a database, and you didn't need a framework. Kudos!
However, I think you're already using what I'd call a 'library': the PHP extensions that are used to access the database are just like libraries - bits of code that aren't used as standard, but can be easily brought in. It sounds like they work just like what I'd think of as a 'standard library' in another language.
So that's one hurdle! I guess the next one will be to get hold of 'external libraries' - from what (very little) I've read, I think that Composer might be a good place to start.
Good luck!
