How can objects be converted into arrays in PHP to make use of array functions like array_column?

To convert objects into arrays in PHP, you can use the built-in function `get_object_vars()` to extract the properties of the object into an associative array. This allows you to then use array functions like `array_column` on the converted array. 

// Sample object
class SampleObject {
    public $name = 'John';
    public $age = 30;
}

// Create an instance of the object
$object = new SampleObject();

// Convert object to array
$array = get_object_vars($object);

// Now you can use array functions like array_column
$names = array_column([$array], 'name');

print_r($names); // Output: Array ( [0] => John )
