no, its probably the worst way.
To have the browser reference images outside the document root
you'll have to create a php wrapper function that decides on what
to do:
<img src="/showimage.php?file=foobar.jpg">
showimage.php:
<?php
$file = $_GET['file'];
// authentication if needed...
// check for valid file, etc..
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg'); // send right content type
readfile($path_outside_docroot . $file);

First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes
you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
