Hi, I am web developer specialising in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and I
was thinking of creating a web app for the iPhone, but what I have
read so far is that PhoneGap allows you to create a web app and wrap
it in a native app that you can get from the appstore. This is
brilliant and really new to me, and is it possible to test the app on
an actual iPhone instead of using the iPhone simulator? If so, can
someone help me? Is the app created from the index.html file?

Yes you can test the app on your own development iPhone as long as you
are an Registered iPhone Developer.
The iPhone Developer Program Portal is designed to take you through
the necessary steps to develop, test and distribute your iPhone
applications. Check http://developer.apple.com

You could include all you html files in the native app, or you can
access them somewhere on your own webserver. In this last case you
only need to point to your webserver from the Native App.

Very easy !

Thanks for replying, Lieven. I am now a registered iPhone Developer.
If you could explain your last paragraph in more detail would be very
helpful to me, as I have never created a web app or a native app
before? Are there any tutorials that show you how to use PhoneGap?

Thanks,
Danny
