You don't seem to actually check the return value from mysql_query().
You return it from your function, but where you call addNewStory(), you
don't check what it returns.

You could try for example something like this:

<?php
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * WHERE 1=1');
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}

?>
