Sorry, slight adjustment, make that $t=time()-31; in the first line so that the script runs immediately.
You could run the script as a daemon. man daemon. The sloppy way of running the script every 30 seconds would be to use sleep(30), but that would cause the script to run at 30 seconds + execution time.
If you make a loop like this you could get around that: $t=time()+31; while(true){
    if(time()>$t+30){
        $t=time();
            YourMainScriptFunction();
    }
    else usleep(1000); //adjust to how often you want to check
}
