Description:
------------
When PHP raises a warning about max_input_vars being exceeded, it would be very helpful to see which file actually caused the error. The current error message just says "Unknown on line 0".

Expected result:
----------------
Script file name

Actual result:
--------------
Unknown file

I don't think there is one way to find out "which file caused the error", since 
it is caused by the client who send the request. so actually this most useful 
info will be the referer:

"PHP Warning: Unknown: Input variables exceeded 1000. To increase the limit 
change max_input_vars in php.ini. in Unknown on line 0, referer: 
https://****.comm/index.php"

and when this warning raise, it still at `startup` phase, no really script be 
executed. 

so IMO 'Unknown on line' make sense .


and the reeze's patch won't help much more. there are a lots of applications are 
single entry, thinking about the ZF application etc.

so the patch will make nothing useful but cause confuse.

and do you really need more than 1000 vars be accepted? if in that case, I think 
you should opitimize your application..

mark as won't fix.
