I usually try and follow the standards that are set by the language's core libraries.... oh wait.

Seriously through - you should try and follow the MVC pattern in any web application as it is pretty much standard practice regardless of language. In PHP this can be achieved in a quick-and-dirty way by treating index.php as your controller and separating data logic and presentation by file. This small step will at least let you move your code to a full featured framework when and if you choose.
