For php to run under suExec, it must run as a CGI script which is a lot more secure than running as an Apache module (such as mod_php).

Normally under these circumstances, you would need to update all your PHP scripts to include an "interpreter line" such as
(people coding Perl scripts should be familiar with this format of a "she-bang" line).

Adding this line to all your scripts would be very long winded though. This is where phpSuExec comes in - it "automagically" adds the interpreter line when your php script is run: saving you from the hassle of adding the interpreter line!
