PHP GD Functions not being recognised

So Im trying to make a script that uses PHP GD to upload and resize an image. Then save it to the database. I used the SImpleImage.php found here:

http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/blog/resizing-images-with-php/

And implemented the code using the following script:

 $myfilename=$_POST['attachments'];

require('SimpleImage.php');

  $image = new SimpleImage();
  $image->load($myfilename);
  $image->resizeToWidth(150);
  $image->save('small-'.$myfilename);

  $image->load($myfilename);
  $image->resizeToWidth(230);
  $image->save('big-'.$myfilename);

myfilename is a variable attached to a form field. Ive been playing about with it, and made sure my server has GD installed, and that the SimpleImage.php file is uploaded correctly. But I keep getting loads of errors. 

Warning: imagesy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in (File Path).php on line 77

All of them relating to SimpleImage.php, which I did not write, seems like it makes sense, and that I know other people have implemented successfully. The majority of the errors are to the one above. Does anyone have any ideas where this problem may be stemming from?

You can't get a file from a HTML form with $_POST. To upload a file you need this field in your form:

<input type="file" name="attachments">

In your PHP script you have to change the first line:

$myfilename=$_FILES['attachments']['tmp_name'];
