Message:

I have variable $id="5fb3a0c67b5c000087002e60"; this is of type string in laravel & i want to convert this $id to type ObjectId("5fb3a0c67b5c000087002e60").
when i fire query $result = $collection->find(['_id'=>$id]); # so here $id is of type string and value inside '_id' which is from mongodb database is of type ObjectId, So to get result from this query $result = $collection->find(['_id'=>$id]); I need to convert $id which is of string to ObjectId

My Answer:
In Laravel, you can use the MongoDB library to convert a string to an ObjectId. Here's how you can do it:

php
use MongoDB\BSON\ObjectId;

$id = "5fb3a0c67b5c000087002e60";
$objectId = new ObjectId($id);

$result = $collection->find(['_id' => $objectId]);


By creating a new `ObjectId` instance with the string value, you can convert it to the ObjectId type required for querying MongoDB.
