<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yahoo.com"> <!--this is the page redirecting from paypal site when the user gives all correct details-->
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.google.com"> <!--this is the page redirecting from paypal site when the user gives false details-->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="continue" />
</form>

you test it by putting desired values on the hidden form fields... other hidden fields are not required... and you can test it in sandbox by changing the <form action=""> with 'https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr'...
