Hide a folders content but leave the files accessible

A script on my website uploads images to mysite.com/uploads and generates a path to the image uploaded like mysite.com/uploads/123456789.jpg.

The image should only to visible to users with a path to the file. The folder shouldn't list out its contents.

The script is built using PHP and runs on a Linux system (CentOS) managed by cPanel. I am new to Linux and I don't understand how this can be done and I need your help with it.

I beleive that's not PHP issue. If you using Apache webserver you need a .htaccess file in that folder with the following content:

Options -Indexes

And also you can try simply add empty file index.html in each directory you'd like to hide.
