authorize.net Production account accepts test credit card numbers

Question

i am using arb of authorize.net. I am also in production mode. but when i enter test credit card numbers it accepts on live site and let the user do register. other wrong credit card numbers are not accepted.

if any body has idea, please share with me.

my code is as follows:

$_CONFIG['Authorize']['g_apihost'] =    "api.authorize.net";
$_CONFIG['Authorize']['g_apipath'] =    "/xml/v1/request.api";

function create_subscription($name,$amount,$refId,$length,$unit,$startDate,$totalOccurrences,$cardNumber,$expirationDate,$firstName,$lastName,$email,$trialOccurrences=0,$trialAmount=0){


//echo $name."<br>".$amount."<br>".$refId."<br>".$length."<br>".$unit."<br>".$startDate."<br>".$totalOccurrences."<br>".$cardNumber."<br>".$expirationDate."<br>".$firstName."<br>".$lastName."<br>".$trialOccurrences."<br>".$trialAmount;exit;
//API SETTING

global $_CONFIG, $mySession;

$loginname=$_CONFIG['Authorize']['g_loginname'];
$transactionkey=$_CONFIG['Authorize']['g_transactionkey'];


$host = $_CONFIG['Authorize']['g_apihost'] ; 



$path = "/xml/v1/request.api";

//END OF API SETTING

//build xml to post
$content =
        "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" .
        "<ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest xmlns=\"AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd\">" .
        "<merchantAuthentication>".
        "<name>" . $loginname . "</name>".
        "<transactionKey>" . $transactionkey . "</transactionKey>".
        "</merchantAuthentication>".
        "<refId>" . $refId . "</refId>".
        "<subscription>".
        "<name>" . $name . "</name>".
        "<paymentSchedule>".
        "<interval>".
        "<length>". $length ."</length>".
        "<unit>". $unit ."</unit>".
        "</interval>".
        "<startDate>" . $startDate . "</startDate>".
        "<totalOccurrences>". $totalOccurrences . "</totalOccurrences>".
        "<trialOccurrences>". $trialOccurrences . "</trialOccurrences>".
        "</paymentSchedule>".
        "<amount>". $amount ."</amount>".
        "<trialAmount>" . $trialAmount . "</trialAmount>".
        "<payment>".
        "<creditCard>".
        "<cardNumber>" . $cardNumber . "</cardNumber>".
        "<expirationDate>" . $expirationDate . "</expirationDate>".
        "</creditCard>".
        "</payment>".
        "<customer>".
        "<email>" . $email . "</email>".
        "</customer>".
        "<billTo>".

        "<lastName>" . $lastName . "</lastName>".
        "</billTo>".
        "</subscription>".
        "</ARBCreateSubscriptionRequest>";

//send the xml via curl
$response = send_request_via_curl($host,$path,$content);
    if ($response){
    list ($refId, $resultCode, $code, $text, $subscriptionId) =parse_return($response);
    $re['refId']=$refId;
    $re['resultCode']=$resultCode;
    $re['code']=$code;
    $re['text']=$text;
    $re['subscriptionId']=$subscriptionId;

Authorize.NET accepts test credit card numbers in live mode. I verified this customer support, the customer support manager, and their devs. But they assured me the transactions would get declined, which is correct. Unfortunately, not as useful as one would hope.
