   <?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"
