This is a convention allowing an opener with an 'opening hand' (12 + HCP) to make a bid, in the absence of a 'biddable' suit (5 card major, 4 card diamonds). This is an artificial bid, and does not reflect length in clubs.
To prevent the partnership from being stuck in an untenable 1 club contract, an artificial 1 diamond convention is often employed along with the 'phony club'. Partner responds 1 diamond with less than 6 points, leaving it to the opener to decide on the trumps.
