I can't find online if this is a base. If you say it is, please give me a source that says it is, so I can document it. I can't find one. Thanks

Basically, can this be a base in anyway. Like maybe if it was excited...or something? I just need a source, or at least knowledge that it can be a base. Thanks again!

I know you guys have been saying it does not exist. I think you are saying that because the ion charges don't match. Is there anyway possible to create that week base? Like by charging it with a negative charge? Or something? Anyway possible that this can work?

No.
I have seen some scholarly articles on P(OH)3. that would be phosphorus hydroxide. However they are infrequently found so, its probably not common.

POH would be base...but it doesnt exist. It cant be excited, it can't anything. It's not possible to exist!!
Now, P2(OH)3 is a base. but still a REALY weak one.

POH does not exist, and
Phosphorus trihydroxide P(OH)3 is misleading
(a.k.a. orthophosphorous acid and dihydroxyphosphine oxide).
It is best known as phosphorous acid H3PO3.

You cannot have a compound with that formula.
