Your code works most of the days of the month, just not on the days that don't exist in February. Look at the following line:

if(isset($_GET['day'])){
    $day = $_GET['day'];
} else {
    $day = date("j");
}

It sets the day to the current day of the month. Today, that is the 29th.

Next, you create a timstamp:

$currentTimeStamp = strtotime("$year-$month-$day");

This attempts to create a data from 2014-02-29, which will fail.

Why do you want to parse the day as a parameter? It looks like it isn't used in the code. A quick solution could be to forget the day parameter, and just create the timestamp from the first of the month.

$currentTimeStamp = strtotime("$year-$month-01");

Add this code before the line $currentTimeStamp = strtotime("$year-$month-$day");:

$maxDay = cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN, $month, $year);
if( $day > $maxDay ) {
    $day = $maxDay;
}
