How do I reset the $PATH variable on Mac OS X?

When I open terminal and type the ls command, it says:

command not found.

I found a link that resolves the problem, but only temporarily. When I exit the terminal and then re-login I have to follow this procedure again.

Is there a permanent solution to my problem?

Check ~/.profile and ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist to make sure you haven't replaced $PATH by accident. Any lines that set PATH should also add the old $PATH at either the beginning or the end.
