Removing documents from a mongo collection with PHP

I am building a web-based inventory system and am trying to implement a delete function in the case that an item is entered in error. All of the examples I've looked at look very simple but I can't seem to get it to work. 

<?php
   // Start the session
   session_start();

   $id = $_SESSION['id'];

   $mongo = new MongoClient(); // connect

   $db = $mongo->test; // set db

   $collection = $db->check_out; // set collection

   $collection->remove(array('_id' => new MongoId($id)), true);

   header('Location: main.php');
?>

I have printed out $id and seen that it does match the value stored in the collection.

Try using

$collection->remove(array('_id' => new MongoId($id)), array("justOne" => true));

justOne - is the field to say how many element you have to delete
