When dynamically getting the $scgi_port variable, torrents do not start automatically

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Using 
<?php
preg_match("/scgi_port = \"127.0.0.1:([0-9]{4})\"/i", 
file_get_contents("/home/{$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']}/config.rc"), $port);

error_log("PORT: ".$port[1]); // yup the port is being set correctly

$scgi_port = $port[1];
?>
in the config.php file
2. Add a torrent via ruTorrent (tested on v3.5 and v3.4)
3. It does not start automatically..

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The torrent when added via the ruTorrent interface should automatically start 
downloading, however it does not.
If I replace the `$scgi_port` variable with a physical number, such as 
`$scgi_port = 7120;` then it works perfectly normally.

What environment are you using?
1. My ruTorrent version is 3.5 and 3.4
2. My rTorrent version is 0.9.2 development version
3. I use web-server apache2 it version is 2.2 on OS Ubuntu 13.04 BETA
4. I use browser Chrome it version is latest on OS Windows 8/7
^ The problem occurs on all platforms.

Are some errors present in the web-server log?
Nope.

Are some errors present in the browser error console?
Nope.

Please provide any additional information below.
