How to get the email address of the the user currently authenticated user? currently returning null

  google-api, google-api-php-client, google-drive-api, google-oauth, php

I would like to see the email and the profile name of the user currently logged in and authenticated in my WebApp.

The backend of my app is in PHP and I am currently using the offical google API PHP client library and gets access to the Google Drive account of the user.

In order to get the name i have been trying to go though the userinfo endpoint.

$service = new Google_Service_Drive($client);
echo(serialize($googleOAuth->userinfo->get()->name) . '   ');

However this is not giving me the users email address its currently returning empty.

These are the authorization scopes i have request of the user:

$client->setScopes(Google_Service_Drive::DRIVE);
$client->setScopes(Google_Service_Oauth2::USERINFO_EMAIL);
$client->setScopes(Google_Service_Oauth2::USERINFO_PROFILE);

How do I get the email?
