Making a file not accessible for direct download in PHP/Apache

I want to create a simple app using PHP for uploading videos. But, I want to make sure it is not accessible for download but can be embedded in my app so I can play it. How can I do this?

It was inspired with this question php restrict access to files in directory but I really don't get how it works.

You can just do it by storing data outside the public DocumentRoot and using PHP to deliver the file.

But i would recommend you to use .htaccess file for this purpose.

You can do it with .htaccess file like 

deny from all

Please have a look here too.I think this is what you've wanted.
