civicrm_contact_add: what's the proper format for country ?

[xavier]

Hi,

What is the proper parameter value (or name) for the country ? Is this supposed to be the name, the iso, the id ? I have a name (eg. Belgium), but it doesn't import. How should I convert or ...

Code: [Select]

    $params = array(
                    'household_name'    => $name,
                    'contact_type'  => 'Household',
                    'contact_source' => 'europarl',
                    'country' => $country
                    );
    $contact =&civicrm_contact_add( $params );


If one of you has an advise on how to work with the api, the params is a bit a hit or miss. Is there a way to test ?

                    'household_name'    => $name,
                    'contact_type'  => 'Household',
                    'contact_source' => 'my code',
                    'location' => array( 1 => array( 'location_type_id' => 1,
                                                is_primary => 1,
                                                'address' => array( 'country' => $country ) ) )
               );
