Description:
------------
When error_reporting is set to E_ALL and a variable that is undefined is concatenated, the line of the E_NOTICE error is set to the last line of the concatenation.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$undefined .= 
"some string";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Notice: Undefined variable: undefined in C:\Documents and Settings\Andras Gyomrey\Mis documentos\www\error.php on line 3

Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Undefined variable: undefined in C:\Documents and Settings\Andras Gyomrey\Mis documentos\www\error.php on line 4

That's where the line begins. No bug here.

I meant for example that if i put:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$undefined .= 
"some".
"buggy ".
"string ";
?>

The message would say the line of the error would be the sixth  instead of the third. My problem came when i was looking for the "undefined" variable. It is right, that the value will be set, when the hole string is parsed. But I don't think that the common interest is where the string is completely parsed, but the line where the undefined variable resides.
