	$string = preg_replace('~^\s+~s', '', $string);

// remove whitespace from the end
	$string = preg_replace('~\s+$~s', '', $string);

// store all tag which should remain the same
	preg_match_all($keep_regexp, $string, $original_tags);

// remove whitespace from the beginning of each line
	$string = preg_replace('~^\s+~m', '', $string);

// remove whitespace from the end of each line
	$string = preg_replace('~\s+$~m', '', $string);

// removes empty lines

// removes line breaks inside normal text
	$string = preg_replace('~([^>\s])(\s\s+|\n)([^<\s])~m', '$1 $3', $string);

// correct indention
	$indent = 0;
	$string = explode("\n", $string);
	foreach ($string as &$line) {
		$correction = intval(substr($line, 0, 2) == '</'); // correct indention, if line starts with closing tag
		$line = str_repeat("\t", $indent - $correction).$line;
		$indent += substr_count($line, '<'); // indent every tag
		$indent -= substr_count($line, '<!'); // subtract doctype declaration
		$indent -= substr_count($line, '<?'); // subtract processing instructions
		$indent -= substr_count($line, '/>'); // subtract self closing tags

// fetch all tag which could been changed
	preg_match_all($keep_regexp, $string, $current_tags);

// restore all stored tags
	foreach ($current_tags[0] as $key => $match) {
		$string = str_replace($match, $original_tags[0][$key], $string);

Just try something like:

$contents = file_get_contents(dirname(__FILE__).'/index.html'); 
print clean_xhtml($contents);
