Question users posting photos, stories.....

Please help a client has just asked for a rather extensive site, three of the things they wanted were:

A Storypage - a page viewers can post there own stories.
A Jokespage - a page viewers can post jokes (I imagine this would be similar to the storypage)
And A Photos page - a page viewers can post their own photos

The client wants to charge for the posts, I really have no idea how to begin coding this, usually i'm okay with code but this has me stumped. I have no idea where to begin with these, and the server is pretty ill equiped e.g. no SQL etc. not that that's relivent. Anyway I can deal with every other aspect of the site apart from those three, please help guys!
Eddy

if users are going to be able to post their own stories, jokes, etc, it is going to have to use some sort of server-side technology. i.e. php or asp. most of the time you will you use one of those languages to talk to a database where the information is stored.

there really isn't a way to design an online community without utilizing server-side tech. on a brighter note, you may be able to use forum software that is already made for users to post jokes and stories in. this would however require the server to be running something like php and mysql.

would there be a way for the user to click a paypal link and then be sent to an automatically generated page so they can upload pictures to a gallery using a simple post method? sorry i'm the newbie of newbies, the server does have php , phpMyAdmin in fact and Perl. And I can "purchuse" mysql databases. the host is www.100webspace.com who have served me well in the past. What language do you think I should be thinking about then?

there are several languages: asp, php, python, perl, etc.

They all can handle paypal ipn and server side scripting including databases.
Since your client wants to charge for it i would gladly help if you pay me to help when you ever decide to do it in PHP

jeh yJ3, .. that link shows that they do provide MySQL also. The most logical technology to use in that case would be PHP/MySQL.
