PHP Login System - Cannot Login User

Hello Experts,
I have a basic PHP login/registration system. I am able to register users without any issue. However, when I try to login as a user, I receive an error message, which I created, stating "Incorrect username." I am stumped as to where the issue/error exists. Would love assistance in troubleshooting the error. Thanks in advance!

LOGIN.INC.PHP
<?php
if(isset($_POST["loginToSite"])){
    $username = $_POST["deputyUsername"];
    $pwd = $_POST["deputyPWD"];

    require_once 'dbh.inc.php';
    require_once 'functions.inc.php';

    if(emptyInputLogin( $username, $pwd)===true){
        header("location:../index.php?error=emptyInput");
        exit();
    }
    loginUser($conn, $username, $pwd); 
}else{
    header("location:../index.php?error=none");
    exit();
}
?>
