Can someone give me a regular expression for a number to be between 1 and 5, single digit

Much more concise to say 

if(x> 0 and x<5)

IMHO

Would it not be simpler to check it as a number (ie if(x>=1 && x<=5) or something similar) rather than using a regex?

Maybe this should do [1-5]

Try using anchors:

/^[1-5]$/

Explanation:

^     Start of line/string.
[1-5] A digit between 1 and 5.
$     End of line/string.
