No offence intended, Shane, but I really think you need to read up on how functions work. Try this resource at PHP.net. Spend a good time reading through and learning it inside-out.

Essentially you need to call the function, this is done by placing $filename = getImageName($_FILES['filetoupload']['name']) outside of the function.
