Completely confused with my $PATH, iTerm, and ZSH setup

So I'm trying to add TeX Live to my PATH and I couldn't be more confused. (For the record, I'm using iTerm and oh-my-zsh on Mac OS X)

In my .zshrc file, my path looks like this: 

# Path to MAMP PHP
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/bin
# Path to LaTeX
export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2014basic/bin/x86_64-darwin:$PATH

After adding the last two lines, my iTerm starts with errors looking like:

/Users/zach/.zshrc:17: command not found: killall
/usr/bin/env: zsh: No such file or directory
box_name:1: command not found: hostname

and more...

My /etc/paths file looks like

/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/texlive/2014basic/bin/x86_64-darwin

However, after ALL of this, echo $PATH just returns:

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

Please help me...I am getting so frustrated. All I want to be able to do is run tlmgr.

You did not included full .zshrc so hard to figured out what is going on, but I guess that in first line you rather want

PATH=$PATH:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/bin

Otherwise you wouldn't be able to call any commands directly from e.g. /usr/bin, and messages like "command not found" only confirm my suspicion.
