I have a very simple function that grabs a user's uploaded avatar from usermeta in order to resize it, however, the value is returned twice? I can't for the life of me understand why.
$img = get_user_meta($user_id,'user_avatar',true);
print_r ("<pre>");
print_r ($img);
print_r ("</pre>");
returns:

Why this happens and how to fix it?
