this is useful for querying for an object by id, given the id's hex:

<?php
$userid = '4cb4ab6d7addf98506010000';

$theObjId = new MongoId($userid);

$connection = new Mongo();
$db = $connection->thedb->users;

// this will return our matching entry.
$item = $db->findOne(array("_id" => $theObjId));

$connection->close();

?>
