_wp_make_subsizes( array $new_sizes, string $file, array $image_meta, int $attachment_id ): array

Description

Compatibility

Present in every tracked release (6.7.7 to 7.1.0), and compiles on PHP 7.4 through 8.6-dev.

Parameters

$new_sizesarray

Array defining what sizes to create.

$filestring

Full path to the image file.

$image_metaarray

The attachment meta data array.

$attachment_idint

Attachment ID to process.

Return value

array

The attachment meta data with updated sizes array. Includes an array of errors encountered while resizing.

Performance profile

How much work a call to _wp_make_subsizes() does, and what it touches: the algorithmic scaling, the Zend instruction count per call across PHP versions, the hooks it hands control to, and the core code that calls it. Measured from the compiled opcodes, not a stopwatch, so every number is identical on any machine running the same PHP version, and every function in core is ranked by cost.

Cost class

Heavy

Reaches the database via get_post().

Scaling

Scales with input

The body loops, so the work grows with what you pass in.

Instructions

7–67

Executed per call on PHP 8.5, depending on the branch taken. The body compiles to 98.

Plugin surface

None

Nothing here hands control to plugin code.

Called by

3

3 places in core call this, so the cost is paid more often than your own code shows.

What it touches

• hookthird-party callbacksdo_action()one call below _wp_make_subsizes()
• querycontent queryget_post()one call below _wp_make_subsizes()

Further down the call graph this can also reach cache, serialize, option and transient. Those are the worst case, several calls deep and usually down an error path, not what a normal call pays.

What one call costs · 8 distinct outcomes

One number would be a lie: the work depends on which branch runs. These are every distinct cost _wp_make_subsizes() can have, taken from its control-flow graph on PHP 8.5.
