Javascript is covered in the Front end web development track.
You may use a bit of Javascript throughout the PHP track, but it won't go into detail about it.
Hope this helps :)

Helps to know some Javascript as well, especially if you want to use something like AJAX to update information on your page without refreshing it (twitter is a good example of this).
Learn the front-end first, then use PHP to make your websites dynamic.
Hope this helps :)
