PHP - findOne by _id

[NTulip]

Hi

Using the PHP driver, I am trying to access a document by it's _id and
I can't get a result back. I am passing to it an array as such:

$mid = new MongoId("4b80c94a8ead0eaf12040000");
$col->findOne(array('_id' =>$mid));

It works fine if I query against any other field that is not a
MongoId.

Could anyone help please?

Thank you

I've used the same code to get results from Mongo with the '_id'. What you have there looks right.

I'm a fan of doing var_dump on all the output if you're not getting back what you expected. Check that the $mid is actually returning object(MongoId) and $output = $col->findOne(array('_id' => $mid)) is returning an array.

Hope that helps.

Maybe you saved the _id as a different type? If you post a var_dump
of the document you're trying to get and the string version of its _id
field we can probably help more.
