Regular expression for validating a username?

I'm still kinda new to using Regular Expressions, so here's my plight. I have some rules for acceptable usernames and I'm trying to make an expression for them.Here they are:
  • 1-15 Characters
  • a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and spaces are acceptable
  • Must begin with a-z or A-Z
  • Cannot end in a space
  • Cannot contain two spaces in a row
This is as far as I've gotten with it.\[code\]/^[a-zA-Z]{1}([a-zA-Z0-9]|\s(?!\s)){0,14}[^\s]$/\[/code\]It works, for the most part, but doesn't match a single character such as "a".Can anyone help me out here? I'm using PCRE in PHP if that makes any difference.
