Try:

if (($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != 'image/jpeg') &&
($_FILES['userfile']['type'] != 'image/jpg'))
{
$msg = 'Problem: file is not jpg';
}

or:

//edit array to suit needs
$img_types = array('image/jpeg','image_jpg','image/gif','image/png');
if (!in_array($_FILES['userfile']['type'],$allowed_types))
{
$msg = 'Problem: file is not of allowed image type.';
}
