  }
  foreach ($xml->result->address_component as $test) {
    $type = (string) $test->type[0];

    }
    if ($type == 'administrative_area_level_2') {
      $countyName = (string) $test->long_name;
    }
  }
  // Take off the word "County".
  $countyName = trim(str_replace('County', '', $countyName));
  // For < 4.7 compatibility, do 2 API calls instead of a join
  $result = civicrm_api3('StateProvince', 'get', array(
    'return' => array("id"),
    'name' => $stateName,
  ));
  $state_province_id = $result['id'];
  $result = civicrm_api3('County', 'get', array(
    'sequential' => 1,
    'state_province_id' => $state_province_id,
  //  'state_province_id.name' => $stateName,
    'name' => $countyName,
  ));
  $countyId = $result['id'];
  $values['county_id'] = $countyId;
