Hmmm..here's a list of stuff you'll probably need to know, so just try searching for them on Google or something.

Databases (MySQL)
Sessions and Cookies (for letting users log in)
Uploading (pictures)
Files (Save their page in a file that they can edit (but don't let them edit the actual file especially if php is allowed))

And basic PHP stuff like if statements and variables and forms just incase you don't know PHP very well. Because this could be kind of difficult, especially if you don't know many of the things in the above list.

There are a couple of tutorials on here which could help you get started. They are for membership systems which will be the main part of your site

The second one is a follow up and talks about image uploading.

Well I think you can understand them. People would be more understanding if you were an experienced user looking for some advice to build a targeted site for a purpose.
When you're not sure what to use, then it seems like you're making a site for the sake of it.

Also, MySpace is the scourge of the internet, I wouldn't mention it.
