Reset to default 0That is a serialized string, actually it's a serialized string of a serialized string, which is very odd. You need to convert it to an array and then get the image URLs from the IDs that it is returning.
Lets say $str is the variable that contains that string, here's how you would get the image URLs from those attachment IDs. FYI I put the second unserialize call inside an if statement so it won't break if your value ever becomes just a single serialized string
function parseUrlsFromSerializedIds($str) {
$arr = unserialize($str);
if (is_serialized($arr)) {
$arr = unserialize($arr);
}
$results = [];
foreach ($arr as $imageID) {
$url = wp_get_attachment_url($imageID);
$results[] = $url;
}
return implode(',', $results);
}
Inside that foreach you'll want to do something with the URL. I'm not sure what format you're trying to return them all in so I left it alone.
