dynamically generate webpages based on uploads ??

[Farf]

i am lost where to start.. i want to have a dynamic page that will allow
visitors to create a new page with an image they upload, as well as
predefined content from a template i create. such as, 1.) they upload an
image 2.) this creates a new page on the server and the new url is provided
3.) the new page contains the uploaded image and say an article in the table
cell below and some links ect...

any help is greatly appreciated

Depending on what the server supports, you can write a solution in
ASP(.NET) or PHP.
Once you know what you can use start looking for tutorials in that
programming language.

One solution is to use a database to store your users pages (if they
are not too large) and links to images.
Use a form to collect the page information and store in the database,
and another page to display the database content wrapped in suitable
"borders".

You will need to learn php, mySQL (for the database), and how to use a
file upload component (for the images).
An alternative to the database is saving the form content in
individual text files, and including those text files in the display
page.
Both these methods are doable - I have used Perl for the individual
text files method, and am using ASP and Access for the database
method. I have no experience with PHP.
