You can't make sessions count down. Instead of setting "30sec" in your
session,store "mktime()" for the current time. Next time a user hits
the send button you check the current time with the time you allready
had stored in your session. Note that if a user deletes the browsers
cookie, session get lost so they can pass that check.
