I updated my answer. You should pass the $post_id to your function. You can check the codex page I linked for a further detailed explanation.

save_post fires even when a post is unpublished (set back to draft).

Thank you very much. Final question: if I want to pass arguments to my function I should use add_action( 'save_post', 'your_save_post_function',10,2 ); for a function with two arguments. But how the function is called? for example my arguments are $postID, $status. I mean when the function is called how wordpress knows I need postID as the 1st argument and the $status which is a custom defined variable as the 2nd argument?

Nothing in the wp-content folder will be overwritten when WordPress is updated, so you can safely add it to wp-content/themes/your-themes/functions.php file.

You mean functions.php is not overwritten when the Wordpress is updated? I only have to insert my function and use add action to add my function and then save the file. Is there anything else should I do to my function work?
