What are you expecting in $_FILES['user_file']['tmp_name']['type']?
There is no such array element. You do have
$_FILES['user_file']['tmp_name'] and $_FILES['user_file']['type'].

Also, NEVER depend on the 'type' value - if it is sent, it may or may
not be accurate. ALWAYS check the mimetype of the file on the server.
Check out exif_imagetype().

I agree with jerry, dont use the ['type'] value to determine the image
type as it can not be relied upon. I do however find that
getImageSize() is quite useful for this purpose.

if(is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$form_fieldname]['tmp_name'])){

$img_mime_type = getimagesize($_FILES[$form_fieldname]
['tmp_name']);

if(($img_mime_type[2] == IMAGETYPE_GIF) ||
($img_mime_type[2] == IMAGETYPE_JPEG) ||
($img_mime_type[2] == IMAGETYPE_PNG))
{
...
}
