Here is the issue - 

(($_FILES['file']['type']==".txt") || ($_FILES['file']['type']==".doc"))

File Extension and MIME Type are not same.

Replace .txt by text/plain And .doc by application/msword.

You have minor mistake in your code that you have put wrong extension.

if((($_FILES['file']['type']=="text/plain") || ($_FILES['file']['type']=="application/msword"))&&($_FILES['file']['size']>"0"))

It is not .txt and .doc it is text/plain for text files and for .doc it is application/msword. I hope it will work.
