For CakePHP 3.x

$this->Model->schema() - Returns the Schema object.

$this->Model->schema()->columns() - Returns all of the columns in the table in an array.

Use the following snippet to get an array of the field names (replace "YourModel" with the name of your model):

array_keys($this->YourModel->getColumnTypes());
