There are at least two PHP extensions that allow parsing XML:

http://www.php.net/XML
http://www.php.net/DOMXML

There's also the SimpleXML extension, but it requires PHP 5.

If this is all you want, you can simply do

$state = strip_tags('<txtNameUSState>CALIFORNIA</txtNameUSState>');

or use regular expressions.
