findimg() text width and height

[Emera]

I'm trying to code the nickname system for Delteria, and I'm having some issues with finding the height and width for the text when using findimg();
I'm trying to stretch an image to the width and height of the text, but using findimg(id).width or findimg(id).height doesn't give me any values. Is there a way to get the width and height?

PHP Code:

with(findimg(1)) {
  text = player.nick;
  zoom = 0.75;
  x = player.x;
  y = player.y;
} 


If I echo findimg(1).width, it gives me 0;
