Streaming a jpg

If I know the location and name of a jpeg file, can I stream it to a HTML page? What I have is a DB that contains the path and name of jpeg files. These files are "outside of the www Home directory" for security reasons. I would like to access the files from my PHP script and stream them to the page. Never having done any streaming (PHP files) with PHP, I am not sure if this can be done and if it can, how to do it. Many thanks for any guidance........
