The post ID can be found in the array returned from the call to $facebook->api.

For example:

$facebook->api(<your API call>);

Then you can find the post ID in $result['id'] when making a call to 'feed', as demonstrated here

$result = $facebook->api('/121468571287906/feed/','post',$attachment);

Additionally, Facebook's API returns a response object, which will contain a post ID for the original call. Try adding a return value to your original call, and then examining that. For example, examine the details of $returnObject for this code:

$returnObject = $facebook->api('/'.$post_id.'/comments','post',$post);

Please refer to the Facebook API reference for details.
