1.20.x common.inc flood_register_event($name, $window = 3600, $identifier = NULL)

Registers an event for the current visitor to the flood control mechanism.

Parameters

$name: The name of an event.

$window: Optional number of seconds before this event expires. Defaults to 3600 (1 hour). Typically uses the same value as the flood_is_allowed() $window parameter. Expired events are purged on cron run to prevent the flood table from growing indefinitely.
