Disclaimer:
is_null() is new-fangled, and while I assume it matches up with SQL NULL,
it's *POSSIBLE* that PHP's NULL is for something entirely different than SQL
NULL. Read the docs.

Several options are available.
In all cases, I've replaced the if/else with the trinary ? : operator. Less
clunky.
$email = is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email;
# Didja know you could just hit TAB instead of that funky \t stuff? Way
prettier, IMNSHO.
print(" <tr><td>$email</td>...");
print(" <TR><TD>" . is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email . "</TD>";
#echo will take as many arguments as you like.
echo "<TR><TD>", is_null($row[0]) ? 'NULL' : $email, "</TD>...";
