Include does not work on index file

I have a little problem with including files. I have two pages where i use exactly the same starting 10 rows. 

    <html>
    <head>
    <?php include "../~13097377/include/head.html"; ?>
    </head>
    <body id="body" >
    <div style="background-color: #E0ECF8; min-height: 100%;">
    <div style="position:fixed; background-color: #E0ECF8;">
    <?php include "../~13097377/include/slideshow.html"; ?>
    <?php include "../~13097377/include/menu.html"; ?>
    <div style="padding: 0px 20px 0px 20px;">

http://eduweb.hhs.nl/~13097377/index.php
http://eduweb.hhs.nl/~13097377/contact/contact.php

The contact page reacts normal but the index page gives a lot of errors like "failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www"

Does someone know how to fix this?

Relative paths are not going to work when your files are in different levels of directories. You can use an absolute path, relative to the root of the web-server:

<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/~13097377/include/slideshow.html"; ?>
<?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/~13097377/include/menu.html"; ?>

Change all instances of ?php include to <?php include.

All PHP code should be between <?php opening and ?> closing tags.

Once you fix the syntax errors, check on your include paths. They are probably relative but may not be depending on webserver and PHP configuration.

You're using a relative path, ../etc... in your include, which means the path being checked is RELATIVE to the location of the script you're running the include directive from.

That means, assuming your document root is /var/www/site/html

/var/www/site/html/index.php           -> /var/www/site/~13097377/include/head.html
/var/www/site/html/contact/contact.php -> /var/www/site/html/~13097377/include/head.html

Unless you have a ~13097377 directory in BOTH your doc_root and doc_root/contact directories, this is why you get your errors. You're telling PHP to look for your file in a place that doesn't exist.
