                    if(!empty($_FILES['fileatt']['type'])){
                        if(($_FILES['fileatt']['type'] != "application/msword")||($_FILES['fileatt']['type'] != "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document")||($_FILES['fileatt']['type'] != "application/pdf")) {
                            echo "Sorry, current format is <b> (".$_FILES['fileatt']['type'].")</b>, only *.doc, *.docx and *.pdf are allowed." ;
                            }

function checkType() {
    if(!empty($_FILES['fileatt']['type'])){
        $allowed =  array('doc','docx' ,'pdf');
        $filename = $_FILES['fileatt']['name'];
        $ext = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
        if(!in_array($ext,$allowed) ) {
            echo "Sorry, current format is <b> (".$_FILES['fileatt']['type'].")</b>, only *.doc, *.docx and *.pdf are allowed." ;
            return false;
       }

You can use in_array() to check extension.

function checkType($data, $ext)
{
    $filename   = $data['name'];
    $pathinfo   = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);

    // Checking
    if(in_array($pathinfo, $ext))
    {
        // TRUE
        return TRUE;
    }

    // FALSE
    return FALSE;
}

$checkType = checkType($_FILES['video_file'], array('doc', 'docx', 'pdf');

var_dump($checkType);

if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/x-png")
|| ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/png"))
&& ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)

You can use something like this change image into word format.Or you can store the extensions in array and can check condition for efficent coding.I just gave you an idea NOT EXACT ANSWER
