Phosphorus is not a halogen. Only the elements of group 7 are halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine).

What is the name of a chemical with 1 phosphorus and 4 chlorides?

phosphorus as well as the PIII oxidation state has an oxidation state of PV. Its the +5 oxidation state we need to bond 4 chlorines to phosphorus. So we also need another monovalent atom e.g. a halogen to balance up the oxidation state. One possibility for a neutral compound would be a mixed halide e.g. FPCl4 This compound is known and is usually called phosphorus tetrachloride fluoride. A cheeky answer would be PCl5 it has four chlorine atoms too!
