wp_get_attachment_image() WP 1.0

Get an HTML img element representing an image attachment

While $size will accept an array, it is better to register a size with add_image_size() so that a cropped version is generated. It's much more efficient than having to find the closest-sized image and then having the browser scale down the image.

Return

String. HTML img element or empty string on failure.

Usage

wp_get_attachment_image( $attachment_id, $size, $icon, $attr );

$attachment_id(int) (required)

Image attachment ID.

$size(string/array)

Image size. Accepts any valid image size, or an array of width and height values in pixels (in that order).
Default: 'thumbnail'

$icon(true/false)

Whether the image should be treated as an icon.
Default: false

$attr(string/array)

Attributes for the image markup.
Default: ''
