Write in in an editor file and save it as the title of function, e.g:
function hello_world(hObject,evt)
fprintf(2,'Hello World!');
end
saved in hello_world.m

Apply the solution Sean gave: write the sections that start with "function" into individual files.
The part before the first "function" line should be written into EZresize.m

The message said so. You are not allowed to define a function in the command line or in a script file.
You need to create a separate .m file, where the first line, you define "function imageChoice_callback(hObject,eventdata)" and then save the file as imageChoice_callback.m.
Or, the function name sounds like belonging to a .m file for a GUI application. You should add this function in the .m file for that GUI application. The first line of that .m file should also be a "function ..." line. Otherwise, that .m file is called a script. You are not allowed to define a function in a script.
