$array = array('log1' => 354,'log2' => 232,'log3' => 155);
$test1 = array_search(min($array), $array);
$test2 = array_keys($array, min($array));

The difference between aray_search and array_keys is that _keys returns an
array of keys for matching elements. That means if several minimum values
are found, all matching elements are returned. Array_search just returns the
first.
