The bbox is just a sample from the osmisis wiki page. I just wanted to outline the process of working with the streaming download. You can add any command to the pipe, e.g. a sax-parser in php: wget http://planet.openstreetmap.org/planet-latest.osm.bz2 -O - -q | \ bzcat | php parser.php > data.csv where parser.php creates a sax-parser reading from STDIN.
