Did you install from the SuSE CD? If so then you have to tell YaST to start MySQL. You can start it from /etc/rc.d/mysql. If you want to use PHP you will need to tell YaST to install PHP for apache as well. SuSE has made running MySQL and PHP so easy by using YaST. Also run YaST to update PHP there been an update on 7.3.
If you need any more help. Let me know I have used SuSE since 5.3 and I am currently on 8.0.
