What steps can be taken to debug and resolve issues with PHP objects not being recognized as objects?

Issue: PHP objects not being recognized as objects can occur due to incorrect instantiation of objects or accessing properties/methods of non-object variables. To resolve this issue, ensure that objects are properly created using the `new` keyword and that variables holding objects are indeed objects. Example fix: 

// Incorrect instantiation of object
$object = MyClass(); // Missing 'new' keyword

// Correct instantiation of object
$object = new MyClass();

// Accessing properties/methods of non-object variable
$variable = 5;
$variable->method(); // Trying to access method on a non-object

// Ensure variable is an object before accessing properties/methods
if (is_object($variable)) {
    $variable->method();
}
