Help with 1 line of php code: $md5 = md5($host & "VSSLIGHTBOX007");

Hello,

I am trying to determine what this one line of code in php does: $md5 = md5($host & “VSSLIGHTBOX007”);

and then convert it to vb.net.
I am getting stumped with the & between $host and “VSSLIGHTBOX007”
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Additionally,

How would I convert that one line of code to VB.net… assuming I had a correctly written md5 function in vb.net.
Thanks.

One more thing I should note: $host = “www.facebook.com”
