we do this all the time for testing. You have two options after setting up the port 80 forward. You either browse to you public IP address (not the 192 addr, that's an internal IP) or you use a service such as noip.com to set up a dynamic domain name You cant browse to 'localhost' from you phone, as that is not a public domain name.

I have an application I want to test on my iPhone before upploading it to the web. I am running Windows XP with XAMPP (Apache MySQL PHP setup) I can test the app locally using my locahost URL. But I am not able to browse my localhost from my iPhone (which is on the same wireless router as my laptop). So, I tried to configure port-forwarding on my router. I assigned my lan IP 192.xxx.xxx.xxx to forward requests to port 80. Still when I access my lan IP from iPhone, I cant get to the localhost. Any suggestions???
