That's actually surprisingly difficult to do given how bison (the parser
generator) works. You can do it quite easily in userspace though. Just break up
the line you are having trouble with over multiple lines and the line number
will
tell you which variable it is.

Description:
------------
The "Array to string conversion" notice message should at the very least
include
the name of the array variable that is being converted to string.
A line of code may contain a lot of variables, so figuring out which one is the
unexpected array can be a pain in the ass.
Even the backtrace won't contain enough information since it only gives the
line
but not the position within the line.
Test script:
---------------
$string1="foo";
$string2="bar";
$string3=array("Whoops, this is an array");
$string4="bla bla";
echo $string1.$string2.$string3.$string4.
Expected result:
----------------
PHP NOTICE at /path/to/file.php (6): Array to string conversion for variable
'string3'
Actual result:
--------------
PHP NOTICE at /path/to/file.php (6): Array to string conversion
