Not true. You can serve them through PHP, e.g.

<img src="showimg.php"...>

And showimg.php can be something like:

header('Content-type: image/gif');
header('Content-length: '.filesize($img_filename));
$file_pointer = fopen('/some/other/directory/img.gif', 'rb');
fpassthru($file_pointer);
fclose($file_pointer);

The graphic can reside anywhere on the system which is accessible to the
Apache process (not just under DocumentRoot).
