Command not found in elif comparison > bash - bash

Question

For some reason commands are not running after the first if statement.
"/usr/local//backup.sh: sleep: not found" for example..
The first if statement goes like:
if [ "$command" == "start -c" ]; then
echo -e "${ORANGE}Starting website backup...${E}"
sleep 1
DT=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
echo -e "${ORANGE}Started backup at $DT ${E}"
sleep 1
tar -zcvf web-$DT.tar.gz /usr/local/www/nginx
echo -e "${ORANGE}Compatced files, moving to backup directory${E}"
sleep 1
mv web-$DT.tar.gz $PATH/web-$DT.tar.gz
echo -e "${CYAN}Moved to backups ($PATH/web-$DT.tar.gz)\nDo you want to upload to ftp?${E}\n${CYAN} 'y' or 'n'?${E}"
read answer
if [ "$answer" == "y" ]; then
echo -e "${ORANGE}Uploading to ftp server...${E}"
sleep 1
if ftp -in -u ftp://$USER:$PASS#$HOST/Backups/f $PATH/web-$DT.tar.gz; then
echo -e "${GREEN}Uploaded! Bye!${E}"
else
echo -e "${ORANGE}Couldn't upload with ftp command, trying with curl...${E}"
sleep 1
curl -T "$PATH/web-$DT.tar.gz" -u $USER:$PASS ftp://$HOST/Backups/f/
echo -e "${GREEN}Uploaded! Bye!${E}"
fi
else
echo -e "${GREEN}Bye!${E}"
fi
Everything works fine inside this statement, however, after the elif compassion it just doesn't.
Here's the problematic code:
elif [ "$command" == "start -d" ]; then
echo -e "${ORANGE}Starting database backup...${E}"
sleep 1
DT=`date +%Y-%m-%d`
echo -e "${ORANGE}Started backup at $DT ${E}"
sleep 1
umask 177
echo -e "${ORANGE}Dumping database 'account'\n${E}"
mysqldump --user=$DBUSER --password=$DBPASS --host=$HOST account > $PATH/account-$DT.sql
sleep 1
echo -e "${ORANGE}Dumping database 'game'\n${E}"
mysqldump --user=$DBUSER --password=$DBPASS --host=$HOST game > $PATH/game-$DT.sql
sleep 1
echo -e "${ORANGE}Dumping database 'forum'\n${E}"
mysqldump --user=$DBUSER --password=$DBPASS --host=$HOST forum > $PATH/forum-$DT.sql
sleep 1
echo -e "${CYAN}Moved to backups ($PATH/<database-date>.sql)\nDo you want to upload to ftp?${E}\n${CYAN} 'y' or 'n'?${E}"
read answer
if [ "$answer" == "y" ]; then
echo -e "${ORANGE}Uploading to ftp server...${E}"
sleep 1
curl -T "$PATH/account-$DT.sql" -u $USER:$PASS ftp://$HOST/Backups/f/Databases/
curl -T "$PATH/game-$DT.sql" -u $USER:$PASS ftp://$HOST/Backups/f/Databases/
curl -T "$PATH/forum-$DT.sql" -u $USER:$PASS ftp://$HOST/Backups/f/Databases/
sleep 1
echo -e "${GREEN}Uploaded! Bye!${E}"
else
echo -e "${GREEN}Bye!${E}"
fi
and then I just ended it..
else
echo -e "${RED}Sorry! Not found${E}"
fi
As you can see there's spaces in the if statements and all of that, so what's wrong with this??
I've the #!/bin/bash up top as well, all the variables exist too.

You seem to have overwritten the value of the PATH variable at some point in your code. The shell needs that variable in order to know where to find programs like sleep (Hence the "not found" error). Name your path variable something else.
