Description:
------------
When using multiline INI values, line counter breaks. Seems parser always perceive one directive as one line. So, debugging becomes difficult where are errors in INI file (see example below, directive [other = aa " bb "] has syntax error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
-- t_pif_line.php --
<?php
parse_ini_file('t_pif_line.ini');
?>

-- t_pif_line.ini --
key = "aaa
	bbb
	ccc
"
other = aa " bb "


Expected result:
----------------
Warning: Error parsing t_pif_line.ini on line 5 in P:\home\localhost\www\t_pif_line.php on line 2

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: Error parsing t_pif_line.ini on line 2 in P:\home\localhost\www\t_pif_line.php on line 2
