MacOS Terminal is not showing any $PATH

Question

no bash command was working in my terminal, so I tried to reset my $PATH and somehow screwed it up more. Any help!

-bash: export: `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin/': not a valid identifier
Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$ 
Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$ echo $PATH

Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$
Roopalis-MacBook-Air:~ roopa$

Try adding the path in .bash_profile :

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin/  
export PATH
