Put each setting that you want into its respective file in ~/.vim/ftplugin/. Eg., ~/.vim/ftplugin/html.vim.

Convert the tabs to spaces with :retab. You can put that into an autocmd to have it happen every time you read a buffer, if you want, something like this:

autocmd BufRead *.js,*.php retab

Best place for autocmds is in ~/.vimrc.
