View

<form action="prueba.php" method="post">
<input type="text" id="txt_prueba" class="validador" />
<submit value="enviar"/>
</form>

View in Cake

<?php
  echo $this->Form->create('Prueba', array('url' => 'prueba.php', 'type' => 'post'));

         echo $this->Form->input('textoPrueba', array('label' => false,
            'class' => 'validador'));
   echo $this->Form->end(); ?>

Script

    $(".validador").on('keyup keypress blur change', function (tecla) {
      $.ajax({
          method: "POST",
          url: "algun.php",
          data: { 
           name: $("#txt_prueba").val();
          }
      })
      .done(function( msg ) {
           if (msg=="Yes"){
                  $("#txt_prueba").css('background-color', 'red');
            } else{
                  $("#txt_prueba").css('background-color', 'green');
            }
       });
});

Controller

require('conexion.php');

$consulta = $_POST['name'];

if (isset($consulta)) {

    $consulta = mysqli_query($conexion, "SELECT * FROM tabla1
    WHERE nombre LIKE '$consulta'");

   $filas = mysqli_num_rows($consulta);

   if ($filas === 0) {
            echo 'Not';

   }else {
     echo 'Yes';
   }
};
