How to create a simple bot for vk?

Question

PHP

Greetings. I want to write a simple php bot that knows a few commands and responds to them in messages to me. What is needed for this? Need to create your own standalone application? Before that, I worked with the public part of the vk api, which does not require authorization, but now the question arose - how to interact with the bot through messages.
