<?php
$bucket = (new MongoDB\Client)->test->selectGridFSBucket();
$stream = fopen('php://temp', 'w+b');
fwrite($stream, "foobar");
rewind($stream);
$id = $bucket->uploadFromStream('filename', $stream);
$destination = fopen('php://temp', 'w+b');
$bucket->downloadToStream($id, $destination);
var_dump(stream_get_contents($destination, -1, 0));
