Read about loading textures. You might want to google "NeHe".
OpenGL is a graphical rendering API. It has no support for loading images or anything of that nature. You need to write your own loader or use an image loading library.
image loading library ?do you know any good ones im looking on google now
holy crap thats the exact one i saw on my google search that i chose before i even saw your post it really must be good
Head over to www.wotsit.org to get loaders for just about any image format (including models).
You'll be better off in the long-run writing a loader yourself the first time, then using a library after you understand it better (IMHO).

Wotsit also gives image file specifications, so it isn't totally a non-learning experience.
