I would like to add a post to a Blogger blog via PHP  Google provided the example below  How to use that with PHP      You can add a post for a blog by sending a POST request to the post   collection URI with a post JSON body    POST https   www googleapis com blogger v3 blogs 8070105920543249955 posts  Authorization     OAuth 2 0 token here    Content-Type  application json       kind    blogger post      blog          id    8070105920543249955          title    A new post      content    With  lt b gt exciting lt  b gt  content

You need to use the cURL library to send this request.

<?php
// Your ID and token
$blogID = '8070105920543249955';
$authToken = 'OAuth 2.0 token here';

// The data to send to the API
$postData = array(
    'kind' => 'blogger#post',
    'blog' => array('id' => $blogID),
    'title' => 'A new post',
    'content' => 'With <b>exciting</b> content...'
);

// Setup cURL
$ch = curl_init('https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/'.$blogID.'/posts/');
curl_setopt_array($ch, array(
    CURLOPT_POST => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        'Authorization: '.$authToken,
        'Content-Type: application/json'
    ),
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($postData)
));

// Send the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if($response === FALSE){
    die(curl_error($ch));
}

// Decode the response
$responseData = json_decode($response, TRUE);

// Close the cURL handler
curl_close($ch);

// Print the date from the response
echo $responseData['published'];

If, for some reason, you can't/don't want to use cURL, you can do this:

<?php
// Your ID and token
$blogID = '8070105920543249955';
$authToken = 'OAuth 2.0 token here';

// The data to send to the API
$postData = array(
    'kind' => 'blogger#post',
    'blog' => array('id' => $blogID),
    'title' => 'A new post',
    'content' => 'With <b>exciting</b> content...'
);

// Create the context for the request
$context = stream_context_create(array(
    'http' => array(
        // http://www.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php
        'method' => 'POST',
        'header' => "Authorization: {$authToken}\r\n".
            "Content-Type: application/json\r\n",
        'content' => json_encode($postData)
    )
));

// Send the request
$response = file_get_contents('https://www.googleapis.com/blogger/v3/blogs/'.$blogID.'/posts/', FALSE, $context);

// Check for errors
if($response === FALSE){
    die('Error');
}

// Decode the response
$responseData = json_decode($response, TRUE);

// Print the date from the response
echo $responseData['published'];

I think cURL would be a good solution  This is not tested  but you can try something like this    body         kind    blogger post      blog          id    8070105920543249955          title    A new post      content    With  lt b gt exciting lt  b gt  content          ch   curl init    curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT URL   https   www googleapis com blogger v3 blogs 8070105920543249955 posts     curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  1   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT HTTPHEADER  array  Content-Type  application json   Authorization  OAuth 2 0 token here     curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POST  1   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS   body    result   curl exec  ch
