URL Parameter passing problem

Question

Below #name# displays the correct information from the gather table.
For instance, if pearl is logged in with users.userID = 5, then #name# displays mek, tiff which is correct.
But,in the a href, display_graphic2.cfm?userID=5 for both mek and tiff.  And I need it to equal the userID that is in the users table so clicking  on mek would link to: display_graphic2.cfm?userID=4 and tiff would link  to: display_graphic2.cfm?userID=3
How can I do this?
gather table data
gatherID name
3     pearl     
5     mek
5     tiff
6     sammy
users table data
userID     name
3     tiff
5     pearl
6     vi
4     meka
Code:
<!--- find users based on match with loggin in user --->
<cfquery name="matches" datasource="gifts">
     SELECT gather.name, gather.gatherID, users.userID
     FROM gather INNER JOIN users
     ON gather.gatherID=users.userID
     WHERE gather.gatherID=<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#session.userID#">
</cfquery>
<!--- display logged in users matches and pass matched user userID in URL --->
See: <cfoutput query="matches">
          <a href="display_graphic2.cfm?userID=#userID#">#name#</a>,
     </cfoutput>

Not sure what the question is.  In that data with that SQL statement,
userID and gatherID will always be the same, since it's an INNER JOIN on
gatherID = userID, so those IDs of 3 and 4 will never exist in the query,
only 5.  It looks like you need to be joining on name, not ID:
That would get you userID '3' for 'tiff' and userID '4' for 'mek' (assuming
that 'meka' is a typo in the users table).
