impossible equations?

my problem states to balance the equation: diphosphorus trioxide reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide to form potassium phosphate plus water. but when i looked up potassium phosphate, i found 3 possible salts: KH2PO4, K2HPO4, and K3PO4. So my unbalanced equation would look like P2O3 + KOH -> (one of the salts) + H2O. I put each variation into the equation solver on this site and it tells me that each of these reactions is impossible. So, what is wrong? ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
