consants must be scalar, they can not be references.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.define.php

what your looking for is this.

<?php

    define(LN, &__LINE__);

?>

this is invalid syntax though, I dont know how to answer your question though, sorry 
:(

why can't I redefine __LINE__?

like define(LN,__LINE__);

it's a rather big constant to put in code to generate my error messages, I 
was thinking more of L, or LN... but if I redefine it, it assumes the value 
of de redefine() line of code... so it's not really redefining a constant 
it's only atributing LN the value of __LINE__...

and in the manual I saw examples where redefining constants were used...
