EAV in my CakePHP

I am working on a new application and I have a need to use an EAV
table style for a few different tables. Primarily the one I am posting
about is my users table. I need to use EAV so that custom user defined
fields can be added/displayed easily.

So far I have a simple table structure(instead of pasting it, I made
an ERD http://i.imgur.com/b3woQ.png)

The approach I am thinking about using is similar to this post
http://nuts-and-bolts-of-cakephp.com/2010/07/27/keyvalue-tables-and-how-to-use-them-in-cakephp-1-3/.
A simple beforeSave() that matches up fields to the form name. There
is only one issue with this that I am seeing, since I am not storing
the field name(attribute_code from eav_attributes) with the value, how
would I go about matching up the form field with the attribute_code
and ultimately with the value the form field passed in?
