Thank you for clarifying my misinterpretation of the original question.

Nevertheless, even though there are no PHP language mechanics analogous to
Perl's #line, there are still workarounds using __LINE__.
For example:

$line_mod = 1 - __LINE__;    // Set the current line to "Line 1"

// 100 lines later....
echo "Modified line number is ".(__LINE__+$line_mod);
// Outputs "Modified line number is 101"
