<?php
$bucket = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->selectGridFSBucket();
$uploadStream = $bucket->openUploadStream('filename');
fwrite($uploadStream, 'foobar');
fclose($uploadStream);
$downloadStream = $bucket->openDownloadStreamByName('filename');
var_dump(stream_get_contents($downloadStream));

The output would then resemble:

string(6) "foobar"
