imap_search problems

[Peter Beckman <beckman@purplecow.com>]

I'm writing a command line script to go through a mailbox on the file
system.  PHP the binary is compiled with imap, I've confirmed by using
imap_headers to get the array of the 10,051 messages and printed the array
out.

Here's my code:

    #!/usr/local/bin/php -q
    <?php

    $id = $_SERVER["argv"][1];

    ini_set("max_execution_time","9000");

    list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime());
    $start = ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);

    $mbox = imap_open("/home/beckman/public_html/spamtracker/a-copy-of-spam", "", "") or die("can't open");

    print "Finding '$id' (Executing imap_search($mbox,'$id'))\n";
    $matches = imap_search($mbox, '$id');
    print_r($matches);

    #while(list($key,$val)=each($matches)) {
    #   echo "$key: $val\n";
    #}

    imap_close($mbox);
    ?>

Here's what I get when searching for a variety of different possibilities (no results being returned in $matches):

Finding 'ALL fat' (Executing imap_search(Resource id #1,'ALL fat'))
Finding 'ALL "fat"' (Executing imap_search(Resource id #1,'ALL "fat"'))
Finding 'BODY "fat"' (Executing imap_search(Resource id #1,'BODY "fat"'))

Then I put SE_UID as the last option in imap_search:
Finding 'BODY "fat"' (Executing imap_search(Resource id #1,'BODY "fat"',SE_UID))
Finding 'TO "beckman@purplecow.com"' (Executing imap_search(Resource id #1,'TO "beckman@purplecow.com"',SE_UID))

I get nothing in $matches ever.  What is going on?  Am I doing it wrong?
I've read the documentation and the contributed notes and copied and pasted
replacing the search strings and continue to fail.  Argh.

I know the word "fat" is in the body of more than 50 messages, as well as
in the headers, as there are 10,051 pieces of spam I'm trying to parse.
