Google Drive API (PHP) - parents null

I am trying to get the parent id of a file using the Google Drive API. My code is below:

$file_parent = $service->files->get($id);
var_dump($file_parent);

Unfortunately the parent object in the result is 'null' but I know it has a parent folder and I have permissions to view this. Has anybody experienced this before?

Ah solved this one myself. You have to pass through the folowing:

$optParams = array(
    'fields' => "name, parents",
);
$file_parent = $service->files->get($parent, $optParams);
var_dump($file_parent);

Google aren't very clear about this!
