Check mime types on http://www.freeformatter.com/mime-types-list.html and modify line:

if ($_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "application/pdf") {

to:

if ($_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "application/pdf" OR $_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "typename2" OR $_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "typename3) {

where typename is Your selected mimetypes eg. "application/msword" for .doc extension.

Just a couple of things. 1) Personally I'd suggest using || instead of OR. Mixing ||, OR, && and AND can cause odd issues. 2) `!in_array()` would be cleaner imo. 3) I _think_ your logic is flawed. – Jonnix Sep 03 '15 at 09:53
For .doc id "application/msword" . And for .docx?? – sanji Sep 03 '15 at 10:20
if ($_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "application/pdf" OR $_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "application/msword" OR $_FILES['filepdf']['type'] != "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"){ is also not working. – sanji Sep 03 '15 at 10:26
try to upload a .docx file and start code with echo '
```
'; var_dump($_FILES); and check mime type on the screen
```
