Duplicate PHP RSA Encryption

Demonstrates how to duplicate the following PHP function. Visual Basic 6.0

Dim success As Long
success = 0

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' Duplicate the following PHP code:
' 
'    public function encryptRSA($plainText,$rsaMOD,$pubKEY){
'         $rsa  = new RSA();
'         $rsa->setEncryptionMode(RSA::ENCRYPTION_PKCS1);

'             'e' => new BigInteger($pubKEY,16),
'             'n' => new BigInteger($rsaMOD,16)
'         ];
' 		
'         $rsa->loadKey($publicKey);
'         $ciphertext = $rsa->encrypt($plainText);
'         return bin2hex($ciphertext);
'     }
