I have a gate mounted to a 6x8 post where the center has rotted out of the post. I am looking to fill the center of the post, rather then replace it if I could. The post itself is still solid, just hollow so the mount bolt have nothing to connect to anymore. I am thinking to try the expanding post foam inside the post, but have not worked with it and I have no reference if it would be stong enough to hold a bolt.

Time to get a new post… This sounds like the equivalent of duct taping your fence together.
This sounds like a bad idea. Just replace the post.
Get longer bolts, go all the way through the post, then a metal plate on the other side. The plate is to distribute the pulling pressure. This is what is done with eg. brick walls.
