    you dont,
    and you shouldnt see the number either
    you should see 4111xxxxxxxx1234

    to display the cvv would mean that its stored inthe DB and this is a definite NO NO

    please check out the TOS of authorize.net

    Per the truncation laws that were recently passed it is unlawful for the whole credit card number to show. If you had that information as well as the CVV code, thats an open door to identity theft. Not saying that is your intentions but if that info stored in your database were to become comprimised you could be in a world of financial problems.

    Besides you will never need to refer to a cvv number whereas that is a security type feature to assure the merchant that the cardholder has the card and is typically not going to be a fraudulent transaction.
