PHP how to access files in a folder protected by htaccess

I have an uploads folder which is protected with htaccess file from public access:

deny from all

However I want to access this folder within my admin panel (using PHP) to show for example profile pictures of users.

How is it possible? Can I simply include the files?

Update : to describe the situation a bit more accurate, I want to show profile pictures of users using img tag, which tries to access pictures from browser and gets blocked. what should I put in src attribite?

I managed to do it using php. I created a php file image.php :

header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
readfile('path to protected image');

Then I used image.php as src attribute of img.
