Sentidos Café is a standard PHP/MySQL web application — there is no framework dependency or build step. Any server that satisfies the requirements below can host it. For local development the quickest route is an all-in-one stack like XAMPP or Laragon; for production any shared hosting plan that advertises PHP 7.4+ support will work fine.

​
PHP Extensions

The application connects to MySQL exclusively through PDO, so the following extensions must be enabled in php.ini:
  • pdo — core PDO library (bundled with PHP but may need to be uncommented)
  • pdo_mysql — MySQL PDO driver; required for every database query in conexion.php
  • mbstring — multi-byte string handling for UTF-8 Spanish text (accents, ñ, etc.) used throughout the site
To verify your extensions from the command line: 
php -m | grep -E "pdo|mbstring"
All three names should appear in the output. If pdo_mysql is missing, uncomment extension=pdo_mysql in your php.ini and restart the web server.

​
Apache Configuration

If you are using Apache, enable mod_rewrite so that clean URL support can be added later without structural changes: 
# Enable mod_rewrite (Debian/Ubuntu)
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo systemctl restart apache2
On Windows (XAMPP), open httpd.conf and uncomment the LoadModule rewrite_module line, then set AllowOverride All in the <Directory> block for your project folder.

External Dependencies (CDN — No Installation Required)

These libraries are loaded remotely and require no local installation or npm/Composer setup:

The Font Awesome stylesheet is referenced in both index.php and menu/menu.php: 
<link rel="stylesheet"

A live internet connection is required for icons and product images to render. For fully offline or air-gapped deployments, download these assets locally.

​
Browser Compatibility

The frontend uses CSS Flexbox for layout and standard ES6 JavaScript (arrow functions, fetch, template literals). No transpilation step is included, so the following minimum browser versions are required:

Local Development Options

Any of the stacks below bundle Apache, MySQL, PHP, and phpMyAdmin into a single installer, making them the fastest way to run Sentidos Café on a development machine without manual server configuration.

XAMPP

Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux). The most widely used local stack for PHP development. Includes Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and phpMyAdmin in one installer.

WAMP

Windows only. Similar to XAMPP and popular among Windows developers. Offers a convenient system-tray interface for managing services and virtual hosts.

Laragon

Windows only. Lightweight and fast. Supports instant switching between PHP versions — useful if you need to test on both PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.x without reinstalling.

MAMP

macOS (and Windows). Clean GUI for starting and stopping Apache and MySQL. The free tier is sufficient for Sentidos Café development.
