You shouldn't need to access the installation media.  If you have registered 
your system, you should have the Pool and Update repositories automatically 
added that live on nu.novell.com.  Then it's a simple "zypper in" command to 
get what you want.  If you have a good number of systems that are going to be 
doing this, then it would make sense to install the Subscription Management 
Tool (SMT) add-on product and register your systems against that.  
https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=l8FuDkiYOg0~  If nothing else, SMT 
will provide a local mirror copy of all the SLES RPMs, saving a lot of 
bandwidth for downloading packages to lots of systems.

First, mixing openSUSE RPMs and SLES RPMs is a rather bad idea.  The two were 
never intended to co-exist.  Second, there aren't ANY openSUSE RPMs for the 
mainframe available for SLES11.  (That just _very_ recently changed for SLES12, 
and I'm not yet familiar enough with the whole setup to talk about it any 
detail.)  If you're talking about x86_64 only, then reference the first point: 
bad idea.

Still, to answer the question that was asked, if I do a "zypper se -s php" on 
an openSUSE 13.2 system, I get lots of hits coming from openSUSE-13.2-Oss 
(http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/) and 
openSUSE-13.2-Update (http://download.opensuse.org/update/13.2/).
