Javascript is client-side, it can alter the browser at any stage or interact with the user. You can do loads with it, but what you can do with JS is a totally different skillset to what you can do with PHP.
PHP is server-side. It's quite powerful yes but it's... well you can't really compare it to javascript, they're totally different.
I would recommend going for javascript first because i personally think it's more useful for everyday tasks here and there, but learn both because neither one is that difficult.
