You need to edit/create .htaccess file of the directory you want to prevent the direct access from people.

I would just move the includes folder out of the web-root, but if you want to block direct access to the whole includes folder, you can put a .htaccess file in that folder that contains just:

 deny from all 

That way you cannot open any file from that folder, but you can include them in php without any problems.

Solution - 2

It's possible to use a Files directive and disallow access to all files, then use it again to set the files that are accessible:

 <Files ~ "^.*"> Deny from all </Files> <Files ~ "^index\\.php|css|js|.*\\.png|.*\\.jpg|.*\\.gif"> Allow from all </Files>
