Is it possible to make my own website as iPhone friendly format when user launches my website in an iPhone browser?
Currently if i launch my website in iPhone, it doesn't look more readable and i need to zoom it to see clearly. If i want to provide my website link will be more clear and readable with bold fonts and buttons ( moreover it is like iPhone friendly format) in the first launch itself in iPhone browser, how to make it success? I could able to see some third party websites like http://tringapps.com and all provide the same logic. How to achieve this and what should i do for that? Where to code?

You'll need to make a separate version, or at the very least an extreme re-CSSing of your existing site.
Apple has some good tips on getting started here.
There are several toolkits to assist in developing the web apps as well, like this and even this.
There is a good book to get started. Building Applications for Mobile Safari
There are many PDFs available from Apple.

I have a fairly simple website where users can fill out a form describing a flowering plant. They click on buttons and checkboxes to describe the leaves and flowers, and then the site returns a list of the possible plant families they are seeing. The site is built with jQuery and all of the data are in a javascript as a series of comma-separated numbers.
The problem, of course, is that the plant ID tool is on the web and it would be much more useful if it could be a stand-alone tool on a smartphone so it would work in a remote jungle somewhere.
I've been scared off of developing an app up til now because I've heard that it costs tens of thousands of dollars. But I keep reading that the new version of Dreamweaver can do the job for me. Can someone clue me in on this? Can I really build an iPhone app in Dreamweaver CS5.5 without knowing Objective C?
Yes. According to this link you can package a native iOS app with CS5.5:

NOTE: You'll still need to register as an Apple iOS developer to upload apps to the app store.
You can also look into non-Objective-C tools like Corona SDK.

To register as an iPhone developer you do not need tens of thousands of dollars, more like 100 dollars. Writing iPhone apps is not simple, and for someone to write an app for you might cost as much. BUT, since you have your website up-and running, i would recommend adjusting the website to smartphone screen sizes, and creating an iPhone app that is basically just a wrapper to a web-browser which will show your site pages. Basically that's what CS5.5 does for you as stated. Similar platforms are Corona (as stated), phoneGap, or titanium - all of which allow creating/using web pages that show inside a native app. The app is just a shell for the webpages. Please note that titanium and phoneGap claim to be able to publish from a single project BOTH iPhone AND android native apps.
which control should i use to make my company's website to iphone look ...
so that when it open it iphone then it look a different that it look in normal browser...
actually i am an iphone developer and i have to give this answer to the web designer of my group...
There's also a great WordPress plugin called WPtouch which I've seen a lot of blogs use. That is, if most of your company's site is a WordPress blog...
Have a look at http://www.jqtouch.com/ or http://code.google.com/p/iui/ or one of the similar toolkits available for doing iPhone web applications.
The actual detection of an iPhone browser depends on your backend framework. A bit more information can be found in this question
What I want to do is to make an iPhone application for my website similar to the photofunia. The users will be able to select an effect from a list, and then upload their own photo. Then the result will be shown in the browser where the user can save the image and/or publish to website like facebook, etc.
What software can I use to do that? Phonegap, appcelerator, etc? Can some of these help?
Thanks.
First of all, you may be able to make an iPhone app using Adobe Flash and the Adobe Packager for iPhone.
The other option is to get a Mac and Learn Objective-C.
There is no "easy" solution here.
Create a webservice for your website and try to use that in your iPhone Application
Of course I know there is no "easy" solution, but I'm almost sure there are other options for making iphone apps, instead of using Objective-C.
I only don't know the name of the tools.
Flash doesn't works. Adobe Air currently doesn't offer a way to access the camera roll on the ios.
I have seen similar posts but couldn't find any answer..
Kindly advise whether its possible or not?
Are you talking about 3rd party applications or the inbuilt applications of the iPhone?
If you are talking about 3rd party application then forget it.. As told by #KingOfBliss apple restricts it.
And if you want to open inbuilt applications like camera, photo, contacts,safari web then you can do it.
You can get sample code for implementing all these from here...
Hope it helps...
hAPPY iCODING...
Applications can register a custom URL format, and then other applications can call that URL to trigger that application, pass it data, etc. Some of Apple's built-ins have URL formats that they've published, and some 3rd party apps have (and advertise) them too. If you're building more than one app, you can obviously customize your URL scheme to have your apps talk to each other more or less freely.
Apple restrict you to open 3rd party application, but you can open some application like safari,contacts,etc.,
I am developing a iphone web application. I already have a website designed using php and mysql. how I can convert this website to compatile for iphone.
pls share your thoughts.
Thanks
If it's specifically designed for the iPhone, then you can simply load it up onto one and develop accordingly. If your site is primarily desktop oriented, then you could:
Do nothing. The iPhone is designed for non-iPhone-aware web sites, and so your's will probably work just like that. In practice a little tweaking will probably make things much better.
Build a parallel site, custom-made for the iPhone, and use browser-detection to redirect to that site when an iPhone comes knocking.
