I'm a little confused by your message, because it looks like you're missing some tags in your xml file. Are you looking to get the value between <ToAddress1> and </ToAddress1> (that isn't formed correctly in what you posted) or just all the elements in each of the address fields?

Let's say you just wanted to retrieve the value between here:

<ToAddress2>1220 southwest</ToAddress2>

and place it in a PHP variable. Here's how you would do it:

preg_match("¦<ToAddress2>(.*)</ToAddress2>¦sU", $xmlfile, $item);

That places your PHP variable in $item[1]

Hope this helps.
