Hi Nick,

I've gotten it to work like so (suggested by Jek):

template node['myapp']['path'] + '/config.php' do
   source 'config.php.erb'
   mode 0755
   owner 'root'
   group 'root'
   variables(
     :password        => node['myapp']['password'],
     :my_file      => File.read(my_file)
end

In my case the content of my_file was just one line containing a single value,
but I suspect you'll be able to get similar results with a whole file.
