This is the actions engine for executing stored actions.

Code

function actions_save($function, $type, $params, $label, $aid = NULL) {

  // aid is the callback for singleton actions so we need to keep a separate
  // table for numeric aids.
  if (!$aid) {
    $aid = db_next_id();
  }
  db_merge('actions')
    ->key(array(
    'aid' => $aid,
  ))
    ->fields(array(
    'callback' => $function,
    'type' => $type,
    'parameters' => serialize($params),
    'label' => $label,
  ))
    ->execute();
  watchdog('actions', 'Action %action saved.', array(

  ));
  return $aid;
