WordPress Multsite - wp_get_post_featured_image_src() - Get wp_get_attachment_image_src() data for any post's featured image on your network

functions.php

/**
 * This function allows you to retrieve the wp_get_attachment_image_src()
 * data for any post's featured image on your network. If you are running
 * a multisite network, you can supply another blog's ID to retrieve a post's
 * featured image data from another site on your WordPress multisite network.
 *
 * Does not take care of icon business (at this time).
 *
 * If successful, this function returns an array of the following:
 *  [0] => url
 *  [1] => width
 *  [2] => height
 *  [3] => boolean: true if a resized image, false if it is the original
 *
 * Returns false if no image is available.
 *
 * @param int $post_id - post ID.
 * @param int post_blog_id - blog ID. Defaults to current blog ID.
 * @param string $size - Optional. Only takes size names, e.g. 'thumbnail', 'large', etc.,
 *	and not size arrays, e.g. array( 32, 32 ).
 * @return bool|array - Returns an array (url, width, height, resized image), or false, if no image is available.
