I'm trying to get email attachments from email using imap, 

the script is working for most of emails but one sender attachments seems have a problem and can't retrieve pdf attachment.

My code is here

```
    $hostname = '{mail.testserver.com:993/tls}INBOX';
    $username = 'test@testserver.nl';
    $password = 's1M@F1225224';

    /* try to connect */
    $inbox = imap_open($hostname,$username,$password) or die('Cannot connect to Email Server: ' . imap_last_error());
    /* grab emails */
    $emails = imap_search($inbox,'FROM "info@test.com"');

     count($emails);

    /* if emails are returned, cycle through each... */
    if($emails) {

        /* begin output var */
        $output = '';
        $io=0;
        /* put the newest emails on top */
        rsort($emails);
        /* for every email... */
        foreach($emails as $email_number){
            echo $io++;
            echo '<br/>';
            $int='';
            /* get information specific to this email */
            $overview = imap_fetch_overview($inbox,$email_number,0);
            $message = imap_fetchbody($inbox,$email_number,1);

            $headerx = imap_headerinfo($inbox,$email_number,0); 
// get first mails header

         $structure = imap_fetchstructure($inbox, $email_number);

            //var_dump( $structure );
            $attachments = array();

            /* if any attachments found... */
            if(isset($structure->parts) && count($structure->parts)) 
            {

                for($i = 0; $i < count($structure->parts); $i++) 
                {
                    echo 'dump of mail structure <pre>';

Is someone know whats the wrong with this email contents or script, is there any solution to get attachments, Thanks a lot
