I like option 2 the best. But is it really needed to have more than one validation method in a custom validation class? You could put every custom validation in a seperate class, load this class and call e standard method that all custom validation classes should have. (for example valdidate())

Every validator could extent this class for example:
class custom_validator {

var $errors

function validate($fieldvalue) {

return;
} // end method

function getErrors() {
return $this->errors
} // end method
} // end class

Examples of emplementations

class dutch_postcode_validator extends validator {

function validate($fieldvalue) {
// check
if (eregi..... {
$this->errors[]="The postcode may only contain... "

} //end if

} // end method

} // end class

class dutch_phonenumber_validator extends validator {

function validate($fieldvalue) {
// check
if (eregi..... {
$this->errors[]="A phonenumber can only contain numbers"

} // end if

if(strlen($fieldvalue)!=10) {
$this->errors[]="A phonenumber must contain 10 characters"
} // end if
} // end method

} // end class

An other way to do it would be to define an interface, but it's only possible in PHP5 so that not an option I think.

I'm relatively new to object oriented programming. But this seems the most flexible method to me.

The indents in the code seem to get lost when I'm posting. Sorry
