Looping through two arrays

I had two result sets (names) loaded into arrays, in this case $result_base and 
$result_compare. I needed to check how similar each name was to every other name. In 
order to do that, I used a nested while() function like so: 

<? 
    while ($base = mysql_fetch_array($result_base))    { 
        mysql_data_seek($result_compare, 0); 
        while ($compare = mysql_fetch_array($result_compare)){ 
                   //code do do the comparison 
        } 
    } 

//I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but this worked for me.
