The class instance will always provide the raw PayPal response to the Response array. During testing (sandbox mode), you can simply output the value of Response to see the PayPal response.

$paypal->Response;
 
// Display the response
print_r($paypal->Response);

If the DoDirectPayment method was successful, the _error variable will be set to false. This includes a Success With Warning response from PayPal. Otherwise, if there was an exception (read: failure), this will be set to true.

If the transaction was successful, PayPal will return the following values:

• amount_total
• avs_code
• cvv2_match
• transaction_id

For AVS and CVV2 Response codes, see the PayPal Integration Center Direct Payment information towards the bottom of the link.

If there was an exception with the interaction with PayPal, _error will return true.

See the error documentation for details about error return values and procedures.
