How to stop my images being seen from direct URL access?

Question

I have a website in PHP (e.g. xyz.com). It is on my local server. And all the images used in the website are stored in xyz/images. When somebody types my website name with the folder name ("images") he can see all the images. How to prevent that?

Note: I have used HTML, PHP, JQuery and CSS to make my website. I don't have htaccess file.

Create an empty file index.php inside your "images" folder.

Thanks, it worked! Should I apply this method to other folders also - "js", "style" and "includes"? – Learner AKS Oct 30 '17 at 10:20
