wp_calculate_image_srcset( int[] $size_array, string $image_src, array $image_meta, int $attachment_id ): string|false

A helper function to calculate the image sources to include in a ‘srcset’ attribute.

An array of width and height values.
  • 0 int
    The width in pixels.
  • 1 int
    The height in pixels.
$image_srcstringrequired
The 'src' of the image.
$image_metaarrayrequired
The image meta data as returned by ‘wp_get_attachment_metadata() ‘.
$attachment_idintoptional
The image attachment ID. Default 0.

Return

string|false The 'srcset' attribute value. False on error or when only one source exists.

Source

 * @return string|false The 'srcset' attribute value. False on error or when only one source exists.

    Note that only image sizes matching the aspect ratio for the original image will be returned by `wp_calculate_image_srcset() ` since the `srcset` attribute is only meant to be used for resolution switching, not changing aspect ratios at different viewport widths (often referred to as the “art direction” use case). See: http://usecases.responsiveimages.org/.
