How can PHP scripts be used to restrict access to image files on a website?

To restrict access to image files on a website using PHP scripts, you can check if the user is authenticated before allowing them to view the image. This can be done by setting up a session variable when the user logs in and checking for that variable before serving the image file. 

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['authenticated'])) {
    header('HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden');
    echo 'Access Denied';
    exit;
}

// Serve the image file here
