The issue of .htaccess files is relevant only if you're serving the 
files directly through Apache, without having PHP involved.  If the 
PHP script is controlling access, then it doesn't matter whether it's 
sending data that it read out of the database or data that it read 
out of a separate file -- the access control works the same.  The 
files could be somewhere that's not in the Web server's document tree 
at all, as long as PHP can read them.  So there are really three 
options.
