Grabbing an attachment (Image) from an email

First off I just want to say that you guys have been a great help.  I've been dabbling in PHP for a while now and it seems that whenever i cant figure something out I can always find the answer here, many thanks.

 

Now down to business, as it were...

 

I found this cool little class on phpclasses.org that signs into a pop account, grabs any attachments that are in the inbox, and then saves them to a file in my webspace. 

The problem is this: when an email with attachment is sent from a regular mail account (thunderbird, yahoo, gmail, etc) the script works fine, but when I try to text a pic from my phone(verizon or BB), it refuses to work.

Now I think I have the problem narrowed down to how the attachment is added to the email, as gmail uses the line:

Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="arm.jpg"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="arm.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
X-Attachment-Id: f_fzgggofj0

 

But when it comes from the cell that part of the email looks like this:

Content-Type: image/jpeg;
name="arm.jpg"
Content-ID: <arm.jpg>
Content-Location: arm.jpg
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
x-drm: forward

 

I'm not totaly sure but i think the problem is how the script looks for an attachment around line 54.  If anyone has an idea it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the class:

		for($i = 1; $i < count($parts); $i++) {
			$message["pid"][$i] = ($i);
			$part = $parts[$i];

			if($part->disposition == "ATTACHMENT") {
				$message["type"][$i] = $message["attachment"]["type"][$part->type] . "/" . strtolower($part->subtype);
				$message["subtype"][$i] = strtolower($part->subtype);
				$ext=$part->subtype;
				$params = $part->dparameters;
				$filename=$part->dparameters[0]->value;

				$mege="";
				$data="";
				$mege = imap_fetchbody($mbox,$jk,$fpos);
				$filename="$filename";
				$fp=fopen($savedirpath.$filename,w);
				$data=$this->getdecodevalue($mege,$part->encoding);
				fputs($fp,$data);
				fclose($fp);
				$fpos+=1;
			}
		}
		if ($delete_emails) {
			// imap_delete tags a message for deletion
			imap_delete($mbox,$jk);
		}
	}
	// imap_expunge deletes all tagged messages
	if ($delete_emails) {
		imap_expunge($mbox);
	}
	imap_close($mbox);
}
}
